ajbritton Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Hi James, I'm a big fan or Portable Apps myself, being old enough to remember when all apps worked like that! It's nice to see the Portable Apps suite slowly evolving with new apps being added and the menu/backup system being updated. Incidentally, the first mention of Portable Apps (that I could find) on EduGeek was in 2006 here: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/general-chat/2151-portable-apps.html
BaccyNet Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Not entirely the same but SMART Technologies (people who make the IWB's) have released a portable version of their SmartBoard software. I have merged this into PortableApps as it seemed to make sense:D
strawberry Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 tis a very useful package, and as my tip of the week... you can also run the folders from a shared drive! .
AyatollahPies Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 They should put VNC viewer in with that lot. You can download an executable for UltraVNC viewer that is simple to include in Portable Apps.
SpuffMonkey Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 They should put VNC viewer in with that lot. GenControl would be good.
Domino Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I've always found Daily cup of tech's pc repair system for usb far more useful for a sysadmin. Daily Cup of Tech USB Drive Systems
mrtechsystems Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 mmm might try this Domino but cannot download the files at the moment looks good I use Hiren's Boot CD and try to get the Usb version working Hiren and Pankaj's Homepage » www.hiren.info

Arcath Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 They should put VNC viewer in with that lot. i use portable apps allot, and i found that if you stick any EXEs into the portable apps folder then they are picked up by the menu, so my menu has the admin admins bar exes in it now, aswell as some other usefull programs that all run from stand alone EXEs
