The whole portable program folder can be copied or moved to another computer and a thumb drive (flash memory drive) is a convenient way to transfer it. Portable apps are often as convenient to run as installed apps, but there are extra benefits. When portable programs are running, right click the icon in the taskbar and select Pin to taskbar to add an icon to launch it. Right clicking this folder and selecting Pin to Quick Access adds it to the sidebar in Explorer to make it easy to access. I created a folder C:\Users\Public\Portable and I keep all my portable programs in there. That folder can be stored anywhere on the disk with read/write permission (some areas of the disk are off-limits because they are for the operating system or administrators only).Ī portable program can be kept in the Downloads folder for convenience and run from there using Explorer to click on the program. The result is a folder containing the program and all the files it needs to run.
Microsoft office portable asking registered archive#
If it is supplied as an executable program, it is really just a self-extracting archive that unpacks itself. A portable program is often supplied as a zip archive, but it could be an executable program. Portable software is the name given to programs that firstly, do not need installing, and secondly, will run from anywhere.
I was asked if there is a portable version of Office so that it can be transferred to another computer and the simple answer is no, but it is a bit more complicated than that.
