need some help

Start application

Submitted by Haggis2018 on May 24, 2018 - 1:48pm

I have various tools on my USB drive and have renamed the "Start" application to "PortableApps" but every time the platform updates it creates a new "start" application in the root of the USB. Is there any way of stopping this and simply start the program using my "PortableApps" shortcut.

1. This installer behave different from the other installler of PorableApp. Other installers I can put them on desktop and run them, and the default location of the extraction will be in one new folder.
This installer doesn't extract the content to a new folder by defualt. (Readme file can solve things here).

I tested RenamerPortable. Now I have:
\Data\Presets
\Data\settings
\Data\Presets\ExamplePreset.rnp
\Data\settings\ReNamerPortableSettings.ini
\Data\Settings.ini

By comparing this structure to the developer original program structure, I can understand that
\Data\settings
\Data\settings\ReNamerPortableSettings.ini
