PS - An external hard drive - the kind with the 7200RPM speed and its own "brick" power supply - is great for portable apps. The RSS feed I see at the bottom is only for updated apps. Not the RSS feed, unless you're seeing one I'm not. Then, after your reformat/reinstall, first use Disk Management (in admin tools) to ensure that the drive letter remains the same (change it if not), then copy the shortcuts back onto the desktop.Ĥ. The solution is to make all the desktop shortcuts once, then make a folder on the drive, and back up the shortcuts there. Only problem there is you gotta recreate all the shortcuts to the desktop, or rely on the menu. Audacity (audio editing) is one such app.ģ.

And you cannot update a portable app with the non-portable version, though in SOME cases, you can unpack the ZIP distribution into the app\AppName folder. No portable app from here should store personal/config info anywhere but Data. Since all your config files and profile stuff are in Data, they remain untouched through the update. Portable apps from here only write to the root, app, and other folder. If it's from here, just download the new version and run the "installer". Generally, don't automatically update a portable app. As for shutdowns, they can cause the app to leave stuff behind, but (1) if it's your own computer, you don't care as much, and (2) next time you run and exit the app in question, it should clean up all its tracks.Ģ.
You get a splash screen which gets old, but it is not hard to disable it. I successfully converted her to open source (Firefox and Pidgin), so I can even put Linux up there, as long as those two apps are there and configured for her. My wife is not tech savvy, and does not care what I do as long as she can get on the Net and IM, and everything works the same, bookmarks, contacts, all that. In fact, I do this at home, simply because when I have a problem with Windows I can't fix, I reformat and reinstall. No drawbacks from using portables locally. Thank you very much, nice greetings, Dirkġ. Okay, that is a good idea (I use Firefox).and I will try the RSS-Feed to get notified.

from Vista to Win 7, XP to Vista) or / and the PC, you wouldn't have to install the applications (the portables) again on the new OS, but just use the already existing ones with all their custom settings you did by yourself. It seems to be a big advantage, that, if you would change the OS (e.g. So, is there any drawback by using portables (on the own PC) instead of their (real) installed versions / correspondents? May be especially, if the PC shuts down in cause of an error, hangs or regarding security?Īs far as I know all the portables on this website are updatable the same way like their correspondents, automatically or manually, aren't they? I am asking, because I tried to update a portable version of CDBurnerXP, but it installed the real and newest installer version then. Many thanks for your welcome greetings and the very understandable answer, Nathan, Wouldn't tell me if I had replies, but I'd be able to check in a hurry. Then, later, I'd just start typing the name of the topic, and Firefox would pull it up. What I'd do is, if I weren't tracking this forum, I'd mark the page by clicking the star icon. I understand Firefox has an extension or two which will notify you on changes to a site (or page), but I've never used such a thing.

Lastly, Drupal is the software running this message board, and either it does not have the reply notification feature, or it is turned off. An installer's basic function is to get files and folders onto your computer. But some ordinary Joe programmer writes some software, doesn't have it write to the registry, it just does something, it is portable. Microsoft software does this very well, but a lot of non-portable software just uses the registry for storing configuration, because it's there for that. NET or Flash) and must be designed to tie itself into the system. All software starts portable (unless it's made with something like. One huge misconception folks have with software, thanks to Microsoft, is that it must be installed.

A self-extracting archive would accomplish the same goal, but it is not as pretty. But no, it does not write anything to the registry. All the installer does is conveniently unpacks the files and folders for you. Welcome, and no, apps don't get installed in the usual sense.
