I'm using internet from my faculty by network connection. All the PCs connected to the admin PC and monitored by netsupport

Yesterday discovered that one of the employee at the admin section was stealing my portable data by netsupport, so is there any way to stop him from stealing through the network?

I stopped use portable apps cuz i don't want to make my personal e-mails available for common !

Just spreading the word about intype (http://www.intype.info), a great text editor like Textmate. Runs great with PortableApps, just install to the portableapps directory.

So I have following lines in a bath file:

SET SCRT=.\SecureCRT\SecureCRT.EXE
SET CONF=.\SecureCRT\Config
START %SCRT% /F %CONF%

How would do the same thing in NSIS?

I have an App that is not portable, but it is self contained in a folder... it's not portable because it leaves a *.conf file in Docs&sets/user/AppData/... even copying that file into the App folder it creates the conf file again.

My question is... How can I make a launcher to 1) read the conf file from the App folder, copy it into the AppData folder, and launch the App... and 2) close the App, copy the conf file into the App folder and delete the AppData file???

After not being on this site for some time, I found new applications that sounded good. I downloaded them; a few where amazing, like Notepad++ Portable, and a few where not. The ones that were amazing looked professionally done; what I thought was expected from portableapps. On the other hand, some of the other ones just looked like, keywords...looked like, they were done fast, without much thought, and didn't look easy on the eyes. This is the first time this as happened, and I hope it is the last time it will happen; because of this new idea.

Dear John,
First let me appreciate you for the concept behind this site and outstanding portables. The way of thinking, designing and updating the 'wonder' portableapps.com is really a jewel to your crown. As a newcomer to this site and portable concept I would like to say that u are one of the 'genius creators' in the field.

I've been looking at the U3 technology and I noticed that the launchpad copies the application to the C:\ drive first, then runs it from there.

Is there a real benefit to this? I mean, isn't the app loaded into memory anyway? Is there a functional benefit to running the app locally vs from the portable drive directly?

Thanks,
Andrew

Wouldn't it be cool if the PortApps menu was part of the background of your computer?
Things could be positioned over it without closing it. Let me know if this is stupid.
