The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

From the irssi homepage [http://irssi.org/] [we] have been putting our work into improving the Irssi experience for Windows users. We made an installer built on NSIS and an USB archive made to be put on an USB stick and allow carrying your personal Irssi instance with you. About irssi in general: Ir...

You'll need NSIS from nsis.sf.net open it up in notepad, or any text editor you wish (I use SciTE because it has syntax highlighting) near the top is stuff like: !define AUTHOR "" ; your name !define APP "" ; insert application name, e.g. "TestApp" !define VER "0.0...

That's about as simple as it gets right there, man
It's just fill in the !defines at the top of the file...

Does PCrypt eat directions from the command line? Could I do sth like: pcrypt.exe --encrypt --key 1234key "file.txt" Then you could write a batch/autoit to encrypt/decrypt the files and stick it in your autorun.inf (if the machine you plug it into lets you run it)... If not, i'm sure there...

Hi guys, I searched the database and haven't found anything, but the makers of w.bloggar, a nice offline blogging software has just realesed a portable version. from the site: The w.bloggar is an application that acts as an interface between the user and one or more blog(s); in other words, it is a ...

Actually, I don't think that is technically possible. To do that would involve changing the Firefox source, which John Haller has said in the past that he would not do. I think that auto update should be disabled by default on Firefox portable installations, but what do I knwo?
