May i ask that: can PAM come with a RecycleBin?

In my notice that, when we are deleting files in USB flash drive and USB hard drive, they(the files) will get deleted straight off(no turning back)! Most of the time users will accidentally miss their files!

Or is there a similar functions open source application that could be intergrate in to PAM menu user-friendly!

with this kind of functions, i hope, we could prevents the important files from accidential-deletion!

Sorry that, i don't know which forums category should i post to, Requesting or PAM!

Greetings!

I believe that PortableApps and UBCD4Win are two of the most phenomenal projects extant. Their combined powers are nearly beyond those of mortal men!

I do, however, have an issue with the PortableApps Menu running on UBCD4Win on USB. When I start PAM the menu appears as it should. When I open or close a window in Geoshell and then try to invoke PAM again it flashes for a fraction of a second and then vanishes. Even if I kill the task and restart it, the behaviour does not change.

Can anybody please tell me how to fix the problem?

ADthanksVANCE!

Hi,

is there a way to hide exe files from portable apps menu? I have many exe files in the PortableApps Folder but only a few should be shown in the Menu.

Thanks for answers

I've installed the PortableAppsSuite onto my 2g USB drive successfully... I see the directories, and everything looks good. When I plug it into my computer, Windows even asks to launch the Autostart... however, when I launch it, all I see is a flash of the dos command window and then... nothing. No error, no menu, no nothing!

I couldn't find anything on the site about this (I wasn't really sure how to search for nothing, though... so if I missed anything please point the way!)

Hoping for some insight?

Thanks!

Hi,

I have installed InfraRecorder on my PortableApps usb drive. The app uses an .exe file called 'ckEffects Application' which has pinned itself to the PortableApps start menu. How can I remove it from the start menu without removing it from the app's folder?

I don't know if it happens with all apps that can accept relative paths (and don't have launchers), but with Console (2.00.132; haven't tried with 1.42.x or 1.5.x), the setting for shell and initial directory can accept relative paths, however the path is relative to the drive letter instead of the app when launched with the PA menu. When the app is launched normally, the relative paths work fine. I found a workaround, but a less technically-inclined person would be extremely confused.

I think that some names of the PortableApps doesen't tell it's funcion, I sugest to add a descriptions menu
thanks

Can anyone help me make it so that the menu will automatically launch when i plug in my USB drive?

I downloaded the PortableApp_Suite_Standard_1.0.exe and copied it onto a 2GB USB stick. Then I plugged the stick into a computer running Windows XP Home SP2 all up to date, and ran it. It ran through to at least 99% and then exited leaving behind a box listing 3666 7-Zip errors, each saying that it had failed to open a (different) new file.

It did manage to create the new folders Documents, Video, Music, and something else, plus the hidden Desktop.ini. So it can write to the root of the stick, where I told it to install, as advised.

Is there a way to change the look of PAM, skin it or apply a theme?
I usually change the look of apps myself, but I did'nt find where the PAM files are.

If there's no skins or way to change the style of PAM maybe they should work on one!?
