[MLUG - DISCUSSION] installing windows apps on external devices

[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

If I install an app, like WinAmp, say, on an external HDD or flash drive, 
will it work properly when moved to another machine?  I'm concerned that 
maybe the registry files will be stored on the primary drive.  It would be 
great if registry files were stored on the same drive as the program.

With the WinAmp example, the index files for the media library are stored 
in the directory with the program, but if I go to a different machine and 
try to run WinAmp from "E:\Program Files\", maybe it will see registry 
info from another installation of Winamp (in "C:\Program Files\") and then 
find the index files in that location -- on C: instead of on E:.
