Hi, check out these portable applications, each in just one file!:

[One File] Portable Notepad++ 2.0

[One File] Portable WinRAR Dutch

[One File] Portable Xfire

[One File] Portable VirtuaWin 2.0
^( Unable to add modules or to change hotkeys. 3.0 fix? )

Link to the web-site for downloads: [Link removed due to illegal repackaging of at least WinRAR. From your description of 'one file' I also suspect you've used ThinApp; if you have they'll all be illegal - mod Chris]

We need an easy-to-use, peer-to-peer, remote control mechanism that allows us to run a remote advocacy session on our small business members' Netbooks over mobile broadband. Has Portable Apps done anything in this area or is there a simple way to do this.

Hello,

I'm new to Portable Apps and converting some apps which I need.
Now I'm searching this (such a) Portable Apps Splashscreen,
which I can customize. Probalby there is a XCF/PSD file
available. Because there look all similar. SumatrPDF, Gimp2, etc.
But where? Can't find such a "template"

Splash screens

Submitted by temp4746 on February 26, 2010 - 5:55am

Some applications have their own splash screen.
Maybe in those that it is appropriate you should just add a PortableApps.com logo to the corner, instead of completely changing the splash screen so we wont lose the splash screen image of the original App?

For example: GIMP
