Author Topic: PEM: Portable Extension Manager v0.925 (Read 30,969 times)

PEM is a program I wrote to handle portable programs. It essentially acts as a portable file association manager. You pick what program you want to open a certain file type, then pass that file as an argument to PEM, and it will launch that file using the program you want.

The nicest part about it is a context menu option that is very easily installed and removed. It adds an option to every file to open it with PEM, whic essentially makes it as easy as double clicking the file.

Another nice part about PEM is that it can autodetect the drive letter, so you can really take it anywhere. Check it out here:

I included the source too.

Cool, going to check it out. This looks like it could be very useful to USB stick people who run things portably.

Really nice application but no longer needed for TC maniacs

I will recommend it for other people though.

Cool! Thanks so much!

Just to let you know, the "Pure Enigmatic Magic" part isn't really anything to do with the program....it was just something clever I came up with. It really stands for "Portable Extension Manager". And PEM doesn't even have to be running in the tray.

But I feel honored nonetheless!
