Launcher on USB device being pluged in to a PC

Submitted by Weezle1234 on August 24, 2015 - 8:29pm

I am wondering, I have started using the Portable App launcher for a little bit, and I love it however, there is one problem. The program dose not start up apron being pluged into a Windows PC, and the option to run the program is not available, is there anything that I can do to change this??
(Auto play sees the device and asks to run portable App launcher, Or start.exe)

Fast way to shut down

Submitted by OLLI_S on August 22, 2015 - 5:31am

Hello,

I have Windows 10 and shutting down the PC via the keyboard requires more key presses than in Windows 7:

  • Windows 7: {Windows} {Right Arrow} {Right Arrow} {Enter}
  • Windows 10: {Windows} {Up Arrow} {Up Arrow} {Enter} {Down Arrow} {Down Arrow} {Enter}

The Portable Apps Platform can be opened using {Ctrl}+{Alt}+{Space}
Here I have at the right bottom the "Power Off" button.
Is there a fast way to access this button using the keyboard?

Greetings

OLLI

SpeedyFox Portable is not downloading through the Portable Apps application. Also, I am receiving a "The connection was reset error when attempting to download manually from the portableapps.com website.

As I've experienced similar issues before, please let me know if this is not the correct or best forum/venue.

Thank you,

BH

I copied my PortableApps files from a workstation to a laptop. While both are on the same network MOST of the time I also have the ability to attach the laptop to a DSL line for external testing.

[Solved] PAP UI messed up w/ Win7 Classic theme

If I switch my Windows 7 theme to Classic, the apps list in PAP will still have a black background, and it looks really crappy. I can still use it, but it definitely is cringe-worthy UI-wise. Any idea on how I could fix this by any chance? The problem doesn't go away if I change the PAP theme to a light one.

I took screenshots of what it looks like under every theme for reference. Here they are:
