Stickies on USB Flash drive
« Thread started on: Feb 23^rd, 2007, 7:17pm »

I've installed & run Stickies from my flash drive successfully, using instructions on this page:
http://www.portablefreeware.com/?q=stickies&m=Search

I've had one strange issue:

I'm using PortableApps (http://portableapps.com/), and somehow the only way I can get stickies to use the stickies.ini file in its own folder is to start it up directly (ie., navigate to the stickies.exe file on the flash drive & double-click).

If, however, I start it up from the PortableApps Menu, it writes a new stickies.ini file to my PC's C drive.

Same thing happens with the Autorun option -- I have a launch.bat file to start up a few apps on the flash drive, and even though it points to the Stickies directory on the flash drive that contains stickies.exe & stickies.ini, it creates a new .ini file on the C drive.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated-- thanks for your time.

This will be to do with the current working directory - if you create a shortcut to an exe and open the properties, this is the "Start in" box.

I guess you'll need to find a way to get the launcher to set the CWD to the same place as the executable.

Thanks so much, Tom! I was able to download one of the beta versions of PortableAppsMenu (which does change the CWD), and all's well. Thanks for the help.
Best,
