That's it. The next time you insert your PortableApps USB flash drive into a computer, the apps menu will automatically pop up. If it doesn't, you can just browse to the USB flash drive and double-click on Start.exe.
You can browse the Internet with Firefox or Chrome, scan the computer for viruses with ClamWin, work on documents with OpenOffice, and a whole lot more. The best part is, everything is stored on the USB flash drive so no trace is left behind on the host computer!
