Portable App Development

I have an app I'm working on and I'm not sure how to handle it's registry entries. All the settings are stored in the registry and I'm not quite sure how to handle that. I know I'm supposed to put them into an .ini but where do I go from there? Do I copy them to the registry when the app runs then copy them from the registry in the .ini when the app closes? If so can somebody give me a line of code as example. Bare with me it's hard to pick examples out of the huge launchers.

I've noticed a lot of apps nowadays (that are in the beta forums) have skinning, so I was wondering if there would be portableapps.com skins/themes.
I know neorame is working on (for a few months, now) coolplayer portable, with extra features and a skin. I stink at art, so I was wondering if anyone would volunteer (or not, :P) to make portableapps skins/themes for apps.
I'm not demanding, just wondering.
Uh-oh, NO! Not the ear! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Recently, there's been a lot of 'stealing' other peoples' projects, for example typefaster, x-moto, ...
There has to be a way to make sure nobody 'takes' other peoples' project.
I have a few (probably not good) idea:

1. Make a What's being developed forum where people can register to make portable programs, then if somebody's already workin' on it, they can just leave a note. (Problem with this is that there would be a lot of bumping when people want to take over a project).

This is my first script (program) I did from scratch :).
It simply reads out of an INI file, then executes the paths.
I did make solutions for worst-case scenarios :P.

Didn't put this in beta testing because it felt awkward to me...
Dark yux made me!!!

PeaZip 2.0 was released few hours ago: this release completes the evolution PeaZip user interface sustained in 1.* series and set the new starting point for UI of 2.* series; UI development was expecially focused in enhancing usability of the application under many different aspect: improved context menus, more keyoboard shortcuts, smarter default behaviours etc...
The natively standalone package of PeaZip 2.0 is:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/peazip/peazip_portable-2.0.bin.WINDOWS.zip

2.0 portable package features those changes against 1.11b:
peazip.exe was updated

what's the best way to pass a variable between different programs? I want NSIS to see which drives are HDD and not solid state and have it pass that information to my AutoIt program.

I sugest a start search like the one in the windows vista in the PortableApps Menu.

When we click on the tray icon, the menu shows and the cursor focus at a Editbox that allow write something to search a app name, in the list.

It is very simple and very usefull.

Furthermore, the menu can be activate by pressing a set of buttons. Like "[Windows] + P".

Thanks,

I have been noticing that more and more people are getting their work accepted and posted here on this site. As a user only thank you for all of the developers and others who contribute in any way to this site.

It makes it look like a community. This is in no way taking anything from those who have started this site like John and others who I may not be aware of. It is just is real nice that others are becoming involved and following the tough guidelines that this site is known for.
