i think there should be an application that adds portable applications, that are not compatible with the apps menu... say you want to add like portable Photoshop or portable adobe illustrator well its not really compatible. well what about an application that adds a shortcut to that certain programs .exe and starts it for you and adds the shortcut the program makes to the menu...

Hi guys

XNView has been previously suggested. Last time is already some time ago, so I'd like to wake the old discussion again.

It is portable, yes. However, I haven't found a way of putting it into my PortableApps systray launcher.

Is this (or some other viever like Irfan) in the to-do list?

Passowrd Protect Drive

Submitted by erilidon on January 22, 2008 - 9:37pm

I would like to see an application that locked the USB Drive so that no files could be accessed and no programs ran unless authentication is entered. I have seen some programs that claim to do this, but I haven't been to impressed. I am thinking of something like the u3 password interface.

I was thinking that sometimes computers disable the system tray, disabling access to the menu (they disabled the global hotkey too). Then I remembered a Desktop Sidebar. Unfortunately, it's closed source, so I went to sf.net and found Sidebar XP. I was thinking John might be able to implement a sidebar feature into the menu. And I am still trying to figure out how to make a PortableApp in the PAF Format.
