Portable App Development

I have a few questions, maybe they have been already posted here, but, I have not found them :(.
- Is there a way to make the StartPortableApps.exe file start automatically after the USB flash plug-in, and not after the Windows auto-run prompt, it would really look better and be more useful?
- Is it possible to implement the "safely remove..." option in to the PortableApps menu, next to the close (X) button, because it looks a little bit lame to first close the application, and then unplug the flash drive manually?

I'm sure this has been asked before too, but what settings does John use to save his splash images. I know it uses 96dpi, I'm just wondering if he uses the highest quality available or another setting. I want to create my own splashes, and a splash template for Have Some Patience's apps, not including the PA logo, but none of them come out as clear as John's, they all have lots of aliasing. Thanks for any help.

I have been editing the Delphi source that John handed out with the last release so I could add in removing the drive after exiting.(Like u3) I am getting an error code 5. Could someone with more Delphi knowledge help?

Here is the code I added into the imgCloseClick event procedure:

var
h: THandle; i: integer;   Drive: String;  dw: dword; bback:Boolean;  errorstr:String; sq:integer;
begin
//This part will eject the drive and exit, but will throw an error if it can't. 
Drive:=  ExtractFileDrive(Application.ExeName);

Hello

Im trying to make game portable and i need some help.
To make it work i need some kind och batch or nsis script that edits a certain file called Hospital.Cfg
The contents of the file:

INSTALL_PATH=[the path to where the game and file is located]
INSTALL_TYPE=MAX
LANGUAGE=ENG

The thing i need the script to do is to when it's run it changes the INSTALL_PATH value to the current location. This way the game can be run from anywhere.
Someone know how to do this?

I take it NSIS was used to create the installers but can anyone give me any pointers for wrapping up my own apps?

I tried the wizard in HM NSIS edit but that is a full blown installer rather than a simple zip extractor.

Or are the installers made in something else?

Thanks

Hi,
I am the Systems Admin for my company and would love to be able to create a portable Lotus Notes Client. Is this possible if has one been created but not released? Any info or help on creating one would be great. That the moment I use Thunderbird with IMAP to receive my E-Mail. However, I do not have any access to the databases with Thunderbird. The company NOtes developer is not developing the Databases with Web access compatibility so accessing it via Firefox is not possible. Again any help with this would be great.

I'm not sure this is the right place to post this, but i was playing around with the splash screens for the apps on this site, and if you use the "Flatten Image" option in GIMP, then save the splash, the size for a majority of the splash screens is nearly cut in half. Not only does this save space because the splash is smaller, but if you recompile the launcher after doing this, the launcher takes up less space at all.

can i have a portable apps suite download in zip format? please..

I found out a way to make portable apps. I was very rushed when making this, so please post any problems here.

EDIT:Updated to 2.1 Download 2.1 here

What can be done about an application that works with registry, and working under a limited account? now registry can't be edited in anyway.
