Did you know you can carry your software around on your USB Flash drive along with your files? Did you know you can use your portable drive as a private work environment when using a "strange" computer? No wonder portable apps have generated so much buzz!
In order to be considered portable, a program will run from any folder and will keep its settings in that folder. Thus it could be moved by thumb drive, floppy or over the network from PC to PC. Often a portable program is a single, standalone executable. No trace of these programs should be left behind when the USB drive is removed.
