shadow1100mfp Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 how do you make an app portable? i want to make photoshop (cs3 extended) portable, along with a few other programs portable and throw them on my new 1gig memory stick. i was reading up on a few google searches; the main reason i want to do this is because the computers (at my school and next year at the college ive been accepted) don't all have the same software so it's a hassle to try and get one with the programs you need, i guess the tech guys didnt feel like taking a few extra minutes to make sure every machine had the same programs haha this is for personal, solely for me, use only; if you were wondering so basically the list i want to make portable is: adobe photoshop cs3 extended (along with the other programs that come with it) microsoft word 2003 microsoft powerpoint 2003 microsoft excell 2003 chief architect (better homes and gardens) home designer suite 6.0 itunes aim and i also want to keep the file sizes down as much as possible without taking away many features; ill be buying a usb drive of about 4 gigs to put this all on (more if i need it, local circuitcity carries up to 8 gig drives) but i do want plenty of room to keep the picture files and documents on the same usb drive thanks in advance 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
