PortableApps.com Platform

I'm having a problem where all my program icons display the generic windows icon. Folder icons on the right are all working however.

These are all standard portable apps found on this site; nothing I converted, or hacked, or anything. I'm having the problem both with the most recent standard install of PAM, and with the new beta from January.

This is a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium 2GB, with U3 uninstalled.

I run the menu from a Ativa usb-stick. As my Toshiba satellite laptop (XPsp2)has no USB2, I use a PCMCIAcard for a USB2 connection, which speeds up the communication with a Wifi-adapter as well as for the usb-stick. This worked well before with the Speedtouch-alcatell adapter. To use the 11.g protocol, I got the Siemens Wifi USBadapter 108. This works also well on the USB2 port. But, when I insert the USBstick, the computer crashes. When both are allready connected at startup, the wifi connection, will simply not start at all.

Have done a new Install of the most recent version after formatting my USB thumb drive and the interface is all out of place. The app launching buttons are in the right place but it looks as if the menu is too far to the top right of the screen, leaving a big black area where the menu should be.

Well, searching through all of the posts that contained the word "cursor" didn't yield anything like the problem I'm having, so:

John,

I am new to your PAM and like it's look and feel over all the others. Have read all the posts in this forum so:

Please may I cast my vote for you to include a method for adding other portable apps to your menu which allows us who already have our own directory structure on our USB drives to retain it.

OK. What I'm having trouble with is I have apps that I've made portable by registering certain files (dll, drv,etc.) with a batch file. I also use the batch file to call the program that I'm wanting to run. (When the program is closed then the files are then unregistered).
I know that the Portable Apps Menu will not recognize batch files, so I use a batch-to-exe converter. I can run the batch file by itself and it will run fine. However, when I run it from the portable apps menu it says that it cannot find the the location of the file that I'm wanting to run.

Let me first say that my hat is off to the PA guys. I used U3 for about six months and thought it was the cat's ass. 24 hours after finding PortableApps, U3 was gone.

Is there any one place where people are posting their menu skins? I've created my first, and I plan to do some more in the near future, just because it is easy. It is intended to go to a friend of mine in the Marines, hence the theme. I posted it here:

Is the exe in the drive's root folder based on nsis or delphi?
If it is nsis, is there a place to download the source?
Its just I would like to change it to launch annother exe...

I love portable apps. I have had problems ejecting it however. I have Vista at home and XP at work. It will work fine at work, but when I use it at home, the eject botton will not work and I have to kill it in task manager. Any thoughts?

I have been using PStart for a while, as I have had a U3 smart drive with non-U3 apps. I am slowly shifting away from the U3 platform, but I am finding the PStart menu and settings somewhat boring and... well... not very useful.I want to switch to the menu but... is it possible to use a PStart settings file I have been using and modifying in the menu? Also, does the menu have folders like PStart?
