Thunderbird Portable

local registry settings changed after upgrade of Thunderbird portable

Submitted by Simon_W on November 18, 2008 - 4:05pm

After upgrading Thunderbird portable on my USB stick the local settings in the registry of my vista notebook referring to Thunderbird are changed. They all point to the USB drive which is not there most of the time. This is rather strange because PortableApps should not change my local registry at all in my opinion!

I've noticed of late that clicking the "Eject" button on my menu (I'm on PAM Mod R31 I think), then asking windows to stop my flash drive generates an error message along the lines of "Windows was unable to stop this device. Please try again later"

Closer inspection reveals that thunderbirdportable.exe and thunderbird.exe are still showing as running processes on the task manager, taking up about 750Kb and 15Mb of memory respectively.

When I double click on some attachements a window appears asking for the application to open the attachement with. One of the options is a check box that says "Do this automaticaly for files like this from now on". In some cases this check box is greyed out.

How can change this so that I can launch that type of attachement with a specific application each time?
Thank a lot
