your PC’s file system so that the program can run. Portable apps—software
programs meant to run from a single hard drive—don’t require any changes
to the operating system. They are self-contained and stand alone on one drive.
Portable applications meant for use on flash drives are often stripped down to
the bare essentials to take up the least amount of disk space possible. However
program size becomes less of an issue for software makers as larger-capacity
drives become cheaper and more available. (As of this writingthumb drives
up to 16 GB in size are available on the market.)
When purchasing a flash drivekeep in mind that size does matter. The
more space you havethe more programs and information you can store.
