With the massive number of computers we have here at Webster Thomas, as well as account restrictions, it’s almost impossible to get your favorite programs’ settings to stay exactly where you want them to, and have all your files where you want them. What do you do? Well, if you have a USB thumb drive, which many of us do, it’s about time you installed PortableApps. Portable Apps are versions of your favorite programs—web browsers, media players, games, office programs—which live on your thumb drive. All of the information to run them is kept on your thumb drive, so all of your settings are the same each time you plug it in and use them. There are a lot of programs out there that have been made into portable versions, so take a look at PortableApps.com.
