Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

Internet Explorer profile for FF 2.0

Submitted by msearcy on December 2, 2006 - 11:39am

I work at a call center whose IT dept hate us being productive or secure. So we can't run firefox. But the IT dept is also inept so as long as I can make firefox look like IE (as I learned from http://johnhaller.com/jh/mozilla/firefox_internet_explorer/) I will be fine.
Please update this on how to install when using Portable Apps suite. And FF 2.0
A lot of interest in this at least in my building
- thanks

Songbird Portable

Songbird is not only a great media player, but also a very innovative music library. Why the need for a portable music library... are you serious? I thought a bunch of people were using their iPods as their portable drives so I can definitely see this as a useful program. The only problem with it is that the iPod device extension is not built in Sad I think this is only thing songbird is lacking, all music libraries should have built in synchronization and support the most popular devices (i.e., iPod). I am no programmer, but a master of mastering programs (Huh? Yea I made that up) and I can tell a good app when I see one. Songbird with iPod device extension would kick ass. Thanks for just hearing me out.

Hi

There is a very interest software ( open source ) called keepass to store all your passwords.

Could you add this solution to the PortableApps suite?

Thanks

Hitman Pro

Submitted by sabot7726 on December 1, 2006 - 8:01am

Well I did a search and didn't see this one being discussed yet.

Hitman Pro is an anti-spyware program which automatically downloads and runs a few popular other anti-spyware programs such as spybot, ad-aware etc. It's basically just an AutoIT script and a folder for the programs.

I've copied it over to my thumbdrive and it works 99% already, but I think its writing to the registry so its not portable yet. I have to doublecheck the setup prior to running it on a new machine still. I'd rather set it up once, have the file on my thumbdrive and never have to worry about it again.

I saw in some other posts that its best if the software in question is open source, which this is not. It's freeware however and the author makes himself available, how does one go about getting permission? Is there a standard thing to ask?

I don't know any app such as this one freeware.
If any exist, it would be a good idea to make it portable (my point of view :p)
Anyway, good job since then, though i find my usb key a bit slow now ...
Maybe because it's the one i was given by my school Blum
