How to remove the Windows 8 'pinned' Icon?

I'm sure this is in a FAQ or document. Alas I could not find it searching with Google or the Forums here.

On Windows 8.1 how do I turn off the 'pinned' icon that Windows puts on the left side of the screen when Portable Apps is running?
I didn't 'pin' the icon it just comes up when Portable Apps is started at boot.

The icon is in the tray on the right where it should be. I don't want it on both places.

The platform cries...

Anytime an app in the list restarts the system or puts itself on the system tray (and not closed properly) the launcher refuses to run it the next time it's used, complaining the app wasn't closed properly.

I also have the option set to close all apps upon launcher exit, which obviously don't work, since I also see a complaint that "such and such app is still running, close it first" when I try to exit the platform, where it refuses to close. Irritating, to say the least.. Please fix it?

Nothing like sitting down at someone's computer and my own tools won't work....

Get More Apps not showing all available apps

Submitted by zmni on December 5, 2014 - 8:52am

This is what I get => http://i.imgur.com/f0TtPan.png for every options I click on Get More Apps menu. Same view, same list of apps.

I put all my PortableApps in an encrypted VHD. It still normal after I encrypted the VHD, but after a while I get this problem. I try to reinstall all the apps and the platform it self, but nothing change, I still get the same result.

I don't know if this bug or what, please help. Thank you.

Class not registered error

Submitted by Tattorack on December 2, 2014 - 4:23am

To start of, my OS is win8.1
I have never had this problem before with the Portable Apps platform.
I've been using v11 without any problem up until recently, then it gave me an error message saying:

Class not registered, ClassID:
{56FDF344-FD6D-11D0-958A-006097C9A090}.

Clicking that makes it go away and Portable Apps is still just there.
But reloading the app icons, looking for new apps to install or checking for updates makes it freeze up indefinitely (and I mean indefinitely because I left it for 3 hours with no results).

PortableApps.com Platform won't start application

Submitted by cimenta on November 10, 2014 - 9:22pm

hi

yesterday I downloaded and installed the platform v12.0.5 build 7601. It's running on Win7 64 bit.

I have installed two applications 7zip and Synkron. Synkron got the option "Start Automatically" ticked. When I start my computer the platform starts but Synkron doesn't. If I quit the platform and start it manually Synkron starts. Is that a bug or I have to do something to have Synkron start automatically?

Q2) is there any way so the Platform and be running have no icon in task bar?

Thank you
R.
