How to put in transportable apps?

Its very safe because when you unplug the gizmo, none of your personal information is left behind.

Step one: Make definite to get the "portable" or "standalone" version at every download site. Most sites clearly label it like that. Usually it is a standard file name ending with EXE, ZIP, or PAF.EXE

* EXE files run "as is", or they self-extract after you click two times them.

* ZIP files must be extracted first. Right-click the ZIP folder > "Extract All...", or click two times on it in the event you associate archive files with something like 7-Zip.

* If the downloaded file ends with PAF.EXE, click two times it & install it to a folder of your choice (& in the event you copy over the earlier version of a program it even deletes the older version first).

* Other download formats usually have a special launcher (such as the downloads for LiberKey). But sometimes you select transportable as an option in the work of installation (Foobar music player comes to mind).

Step two: It is a lovely suggestion to generate a folder for your transportable apps, in the event you haven't already. I recommend making a sub folder for each program within your transportable folder or moving its existing folder to your transportable folder (as long as they permit for relative paths; a few don't & would quit working in the event you move them around freely). In any case, after you get the transportable app functional, you must make a shortcut to it:

* The simplest way is to generate a shortcut in a transportable launcher (or the transportable launcher that comes with a suite of transportable programs). PStart, for example, lets you drag & drop EXE files & automatically generate a shortcut in its launcher. Whereas, PortableApps Suite type launchers automatically search its PortableApps folder & add shortcuts for you after you refresh or restart the launcher ( as long as you generate individual folders for all of your transportable apps).

* Or go to your transportable apps folder, right-click on the main application for the transportable app (usually it is the with a recognizable icon & a large file size), & select "Create Shortcut" or "Send to > Desktop". Then basically right-click the shortcut & select "pin to start menu" (Vista), or drag the shortcut to the beginning menu.

Or upload your transportable apps to an online backup site, such as Windows Live Skydrive, in the event you intend on using them on various computers.
