Poratble applications

(1/3) > >>

arunpawar:
Potable applications can be good even if we can use them on disk.But I have question about portable as:
1. is portable app save any setting to the registry?
2. if portable app consume more memory?
3. is portable application can be registered as ext in open with list?

 i have more set of questions but i remember these only so let me know abt it.

Josh:
1. Typically all settings are stored in an ini or xml based configuration file
2. Typically as much as the desktop version
3. Yes, but if the drive is not inserted then the open will fail.

PhilB66:
Read What is "portable"?.

Josh:
I completely disagree with his definition stating that it must run on older versions of windows. What exactly is non-portable about an app that runs on xp/vista/2000 only and not the 9x/me series? Pretty much every app developer has ceased development for the 9x code base minus a few projects, and as such, I think this single portion of the definition should be removed.

PhilB66:
Well, I do and it kind of make sense when you describe an "ideal" portable application.
