"PortableApps" that can carry famous free Windows software in external storage, such as USB memory
If you look for the installation method, it will be introduced a lot on the Internet, but there was no way to start PortableApps when Windows started, so I will summarize this article about the automatic startup method in my own way.。
There is a possibility that a problem will occur because it is not an official way.Please refer to it after understanding in advance.
In the first place, PotableApps is automatically executed by default
Looking at the support forum of PortableApps, it seems that the default is set to be automatically executed when Windows starts.
But that's Autorun.A story if INF works.
It used to be Autorun.If the CD / DVD was inserted into the drive using INF, the software was automatically launched, but some people exploit this function to prepare viruses, so Windows 7 or later., If you attach the media, you will have options for the startup method.
There seems to be a way to enable automatic execution, but it seemed a little troublesome, so I used another method this time.
Use Windows startup function
Windows is equipped with a "startup" function that automatically executes software when starting up.
All you have to do is insert a soft shortcut of software in this function, just insert a soft cutcut.
The following is a startup startup method using startups.
First, "Start" directly below the USB device where PortableApps is installed.Right -click "EXE", click "Send" "Desktop (Create Shortcut)", and create a shortcut for PortableApps on the desktop.
Next, start "Execute by specifying the file name" with the Windows key + R key.
In the input field
| 1 | shell:startup |
And press the "OK" button.
Then the startup folder is displayed, drag and drop the shortcut of PortableApps created on the desktop to the startup folder.
This will automatically execute PortableApps when Windows starts.
Depending on the setting of the personal computer, the error screen (checking media fail) may be displayed when the power is turned on with the USB memory containing PortableApps is inserted.In that case, change the reading order in UEFI (BIOS) so that the storage containing the OS is read first.
By the way: What if you move the storage?
PortableApps All the original data is OK just to copy and paste to the destination storage.
The settings of each app can be taken over as they are, which is the biggest attraction of PortableApps.
