"FileMon monitors and displays file system activity on a system in real-time. Its advanced capabilities make it a powerful tool for exploring the way Windows works, seeing how applications use the files and DLLs, or tracking down problems in system or application file configurations"

John, thanks

I'm new to the portable apps world (and this webby), and i must say i'm impressed.
I've ported my first working application, which i noticed there are many requests for.
I would like to post my portable Shareaza on this webby for testing, but i would like to first know.

1)Does me posting this application break any rules for the website?
2)What is the correct way to submit this appliaction?
3)Can the application be posted with rapidshare links for download?

etc etc.

Anyway, please reply and tell me the correct way to do things.

UPDATE

Well, I got one request, and one suggestion.

However, I've decided to take a shot at making A Note/A-Note portable.

Has John T or anyone else considered compiling a one time use Firefox which leaves no traces on the host machine, or on the portable device it is run from?

Opera has a one time use edition at www.kejut.com/operaportable but which still uses folders created in the local settings temp folder. Opera says all information is completely destroyed upon shutdown but there are doubters to this.

I have a simple request to make about the icon that brings up the portableapps menu. Most of the time I cannot open it (a second time that is) since the... what was the name... active program icons (on the right hand side of the task bar)... something like that, since they are blocked off at my local library. They do not let anyone use those buttons, thus I cannot use portableapps, but once when it first starts.

I was hoping that it could be changed to the be a normal task bar icon, or at least letting the using set the option of how the program is to appear in the task bar.

Is there anyway someone could provide a template for use for me and everyone else on the forums? This would include the main background the other background and the slider right?
Thanks
Ben

I guess how do you create a portable app that near the exe there is App Data and Other ect. Folders and the app works. i use Portable App Creation Master and i create app with it but i dont like it. The process is too long with it. Can you help me?
How do you create Portable Apps that looks cool like yours? I really want to know because i want to create apps by my own but i pisses me off.

First let me say thanks SOOO much for making the 1.4 template, I have used it to create several launchers.
I have a few suggestions/requests for ver 1.5
Instead of copying the users current reg and folders etc to the usb drive, can they be renamed to file.ext.portbak, folder.portbak, and regkey.portbak or something similiar? this would be a lot faster than copying them to the flash drive.

This next request is a significant one I realize, but I think it would really be helpful to "intermediate" users who want to customize the script.

Hi everyone!

I would like to translate PA into Spanish, so if you want it, please contact me to get my hands durty
