portable apps?

A portable
app is a "lite" version of software that can be run without having to
be installed on the host computer. It also does not modify the configuration
information of the computer.
Portable
apps have several advantages:
They make it
easy to switch between different computers because you can take your software
with you They do not interfere with any other programs installed on the PC And
they can be used on PCs with restricted user permissions.
If you're
using someone else's computer, you can run your favorite portable apps and
settings by plugging in your USB stick and running them.
If you use
an older computer with less memory, you can run these lightweight portable
apps.
If you have
virtually no storage space on your computer to install something, then portable
apps on a USB stick are right for you.
