but programs and applications may not work. I'm referring to an "Install" as most programs want to set entries in the registry. There is no registry on a flash drive. And even though a program or utility may install, using it on another PC may fail because of the missing registry entries.
Give it a shot. It'll either work or it won't.
I got a new flash drive and i was wondering if anyone has any interesting suggestions on cool stuff to do on it like install a mini version of linux
