yeah, I use this. It's really cool and you can create your own portable apps which integrate nicely :)

Looks like the damn Vista startmenu :ermm:but came out way before vista. Now Vista is copying open source, modifying it and not revealing the source!!! They are breaching the GNU license agreement! SUE THEM DAMN IT!!

Hawt stuff, I downloaded the menu and installed some of the apps on an old 128MB-stick.

A bunch of those apps are brilliant if you need to fix something on someone's computer and you don't know what they've got. I put 7-zip, sumatra and a couple of others on there. In the past it's been really annoying being offline and installing lyke xp on someone's computer, and not having been able to read a manual in pdf-format or open a rar-file with drivers or something.

Also put some other stuff on there like Miranda, so I don't need to set up MSN or ICQ on someone else's computer if I need to talk to anyone, and the Sudoku game just 'cos I could.

Even added this (http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html) (the first download) which I saw clocker recommending the other day, and although it wasn't a paf all I had to do was make a folder for it in the portable apps-folder and put the exe in there and it worked.

TBH, I might as well have put a bunch of exes on the stick and have used that, but this looks prettier and the base menu is only like 1MB, so why not.
