Wallpaper Changer

Submitted by Redeem on December 9, 2007 - 5:59pm

Using a u3 device there is an application that will change your wallpaper when you insert the device and then change it back when you take it out. is it possible to do this using the portable apps suite (Menu, not sure if that's it right name)
Becuase that has always been a pretty usefull utility.

as well as enabling the menu to launch applications upon insertion or along with the menu. i know this is probably possible by editing the Autorun.inf file but i've yet to try and i'm sure it would be usefull for people not as knowlable with computers as the rest of us.

BitDefender

I would like to see more development of real-time antivirus/security apps, especially BitDefender Internet Security 2008 (rather than their weak, on demand, portable version).

My kids -bless their hearts- don't virus check files on their USB sticks when loading files at school and bringing the 'gifts' home; so, ClamWin portable won't cut the mustard.

Thanks for your consideration!

Shortcut for apps not in the portableapps directory.

I found an ejectscript and I want to use it, but to have it shown on the menu, I know it has to be in portableapps directory. But it won't work unless if it's in the root directory. I need a shortcut executable that would show up on the menu and then launch the ejectscript. I did search, none of the results were relevant.

Updates please

There are security/stability updates for several software packages available from PartableApps.com, including:

VLC Media Player 0.8.6d
WinSCP 4.0.5
Pidgin 2.3.1
OpenOffice.org 2.3.1

Could you please update these apps as a sort of Christmas gift for all users?

Many thanks in advance.

Keymap changer

Submitted by trigger on December 6, 2007 - 8:40am

This is not really a request to make an application portable, but a request for an entire application.
I use a pretty rare keymap (Swedish Dvorak(Not included in windows by default)), and would like the ability to change to this keymap wherever I go.
Previously I have tried some application named noadmin svorak, but that changed to svorak, which is not the keymap im using, I've also tried putting together a script with autohotkey, I got pretty far but not all the way, and also it's dependant on the keymap the computer allready uses.
