Google Chrome Portable Multiple instances are merging into a single icon on the taskbar

Hello,

I am using multiple instances of Google Chrome Portable and they are merging into a single icon on the taskbar.

I think it's likely because they share the same application ID. Windows groups applications with the same ID under a single taskbar icon to save space.

How can I run Multiple instances with each separate icon of Google Chrome?

I also have attached the screenshot image for easy to understand.

Chrome Portable auto creating temp folder on my SSD

Submitted by Portableman83 on June 3, 2023 - 1:47am

Hi,

Please tell me how to stop Chrome from automatically creating a temp folder in my C partition every time I start it, because I want all files to be in my portable folder on RAM Disk od HDD. I don't understand the purpose of portability then.

How can I be sure that everything I do while surfing on internet, chrome saves and writes in its folder?

Thank you very much forward for the answer.

SPortable fails while attempting to install. (Version 8.96.0.207)

I recently had problems running SPortable and uninstalled and then attempted to reinstall. In the two methods I tried, both of them failed when it attempts to install.

The error message is
The downloaded copy of Skype is not valid and cannot be installed.

I'm guessing this has to do with the actual Skype application but does anyone know how to fix this inside of PortableApps?
