![]() That's because the platform is simply a menu for accessing the apps, and without apps, it just sits there.Ī little history of this site: Once upon a time, John T. If you just installed the platform only, but you don't have any apps added, well yeah, it doesn't do a lot. The Portable Apps platform can be downloaded and installed either as an empty menu (Platform Only), or as a menu with a bunch of useful apps (Suite Light or Suite Standard). Your post is quite cryptic, I'm curious as to what you expected from Portable Apps ("I cannot fathom how to use it"), and what you experienced - and what you mean by "I have a block on this". I see you are a new user, as your profile lists you joined about 4 hours ago. I have 3 of the icons on my Desktop but deleteing these won't do the trick will it? Deleteing the 'hidden desktop.ini file within each directory' deleteing the suite's files - would some kind person explain to me how to follow the instructions as given? If this is a 'snap' I must give up this game. Where are these files to be deleted? I have not used this program so haven't saved anything. To remove the custom icons on the Documents directory (or any others), just delete the hidden desktop.ini file within each directory. If you do have data within the Documents directory you'd like to save, simply delete the directories you don't wish to keep. If you don't have any data you wish to save on your portable device, you could also format it if you'd like. This would be the Documents and PortableApps directories as well as the StartPortableApps.exe and autorun.inf files in the root directory. To remove the suite, you simply delete its files. Since the Suite and Platform is self-contained, uninstalling is a snap. Strange that the Search box didn't recognise'Uninstall.'.
