The PortableApps.com application suite is a package of Windows programs that you can run from a USB flash drive. The platform comes with a program menu that pops up when you insert your USB stick, or when you launch the program, and a suite of apps including a web browser, instant messenger, and office suite.The latest version of the PortableApps.com suite comes with a new theme that adds a few visual effects. It also allows you to rename application icons and hide icons for programs you don't want to show up in the menu. Platform 1.5 also allows you to run application as an administrator and includes support for 37 languages.
