Hi, everyone!
So, I have a problem with [RegistryKeys]

When I do so:
[RegistryKeys]
HKCU=HKCU\Software\AppName

It always work.

When I do so:
[RegistryKeys]
HKLM=HKLM\Software\AppName

It sometimes doesn't work.

I noticed that I have the same problem with Common Files folder (sometimes — not always) and I can't understand what it depends on.

Launcher Themes.

Submitted by MrQMarx on December 9, 2017 - 8:38am

I couldn't really see a section for Launcher themes so I just made one here.

To replace a default theme go to:
"PortableApps\PortableApps.com\App\Graphics\Chrome"
pick a folder, drag the image in and rename.

One of my favorite things with the Windows theme modding groups is the looking towards real world textures rather than just gradients and the like.
So I made a menu theme based on that.

RAM optimization for Launcher

Submitted by Antony Murste on December 2, 2017 - 1:53am

Hello.

Why does Launcher take up so much RAM? Launcher has much less functionality than the application being launched. But Launcher requires RAM more than the application you are running.

For example
AkelPad.exe - 7 MiB
AkelPadPortable.exe - 40 MiB
ProcessExplorerPortable.exe - 38 MiB
ProcessExplorer.exe - 36 MiB

add extension to chrome premanently

Submitted by cdlmg on November 17, 2017 - 2:55pm

Hello everyone

I am working with a portable google chrome to make tests in a laboratory. And I have a problem that I still can not solve. when adding an extension to the portable, it works fine but when changing the pc device the extensions are deleted.

I was reviewing the forum but I have not been able to find any solution.

A possible solution would be to login with a google account in the browser, in this way the extensions would be integrated but for the activity that I must perform this option is not viable.

How to emulate/define *.dll files

RegEdit's picture
Submitted by RegEdit on November 15, 2017 - 8:18am

The problem is this: My portable application requires the presence of files / drivers in the "System32" / SysWOW folder. I will say that the application will not work even if you put the files in the root folder. How to make them either emulated or copied to the System32 folder / WOW and then deleted. It is reasonable to use the first option, of course, but I do not know how ...
