my question is can an app be portable if it requires .NET 2.0. I found a little program i wanted to paf but it needs .NET 2.0 and most computers have .NET 2.0 or newer. So that dependency might not be any different from our apps having the dependency of needing to run on Windows. tell me what you think

Okay here is what i am having problems with, im able to get the app data to save in a folder its just its not saving in my "DATA" directory, its saving in the C:\
The original program saves its data in this directory "C:\Documents and Settings\Nathan\Local Settings\Application Data" Hope that is more helpful to help solve my problem. Also my registry entries arent being deleted, is there more i have to include in the script to do it or is something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello!
This time I'm working (not finished, just want to hear your comments :-)) on a theme set called "Digiframe". I'm added a folder "Userpic" where you can drop any 4:3ratio jpg by renaming it user.jpg. So you could customising a theme without many work.

there is a small program i want to do and it comes in a normal version and a ansi version. both seem to open for me but i wanted to know what was gained by using the unicode version over the ansi version. i know ansi is for win98 etc i could use the ansi version or both of them.

Hi All,

I'm toying with the idea to develop an application and being a portable apps convert, it just makes sense to develop an app that can run on any (windows) machine without having any dependencies on what should be installed on the machine.

SharpDevelop (C#, Boo) was my first choice IDE but with its dependence on .NET/Mono means that I cannot use it.

Since there are lots of people out there, myself included, who don't like using Remote Desktop on public computers because it leaves information behind, which is a hassle to clean up after, I wrote a small batch file for this purpose. This isn't a portable app in the sense of being its own program or even allowing you to run remote desktop on a computer that doesn't have it, but for computers that do, it should be a lot better than having to go through and clean up the tracks MS leaves behind or avoiding the use of it altogether on a public computer because of them.

I've been working on a launcher for a program called stickies. Yes I know it's not open source, but I use it a lot and it's legal so I'm just making a launcher for myself. Anyways I was wondering how you check the system to see if a program is installed. In the cleanup section of my program I have it move files from the App data folder if they're accidentally put there, then delete them. Well if stickies is installed I don't want to do that I just want to make new ones. Can anybody help me? And if you want I can email you the launcher.
