Hello,

Have any of you propeller heads

out there run a software program right from a USB thumb drive? I just purchase an 8GB Sandisk Cruize USB drive and it prompted me if I wanted to run applications or only use for storage.

It would be nice to run Camtasia and other software from the thumb drive so I don't have to load the application on multiple PC's.

Would this work in theory?

Thanks,
Dennis

Camtasia is going to be a pain to convert to that format.

Which format is that you may ask? It's called a "Portable App". I use mostly portable apps to save processor power and disk space - I don't like "bloatware".

There is a free alternative to Camtasia called "wink". It's not quite as powerful, but it will do most things you'll need. It is already available in a portable format designed to be run off a USB thumb drive.

Here's where you can get it: Wink Portable 2.0 | PortableApps.com - Portable software for USB drives

I can't comment on how great it is. I don't use Wink or Camtasia. I use Adobe Captivate 4 for that sort of thing.

I hope it's helpful.

Cheers.
- Thanks
