<DIV>I was hoping to be able to install FPC on my system, then do a copy to my USB, setup a batch program to the "path" and go. I did notice though that FPC writes to the windows registry and was curious as to how critical that information is to the operation of FPC from the USB.</DIV>

<DIV>I appreciate your response, it is very similar to what I was hoping to do.</DIV>
