Thread: Key issues

In this article we'll be looking at some of the most important and useful programs that are available to run from a memory stick, but before we start, it's worth
mentioning a couple of important points.

First, it's important to note that it's not possible to install normal software on a USB memory key and expect it to work. Instead, to use software on a memory key it's vital to get a special version of the software.



These special versions are known as portable applications. They store the program itself, as well as all its settings and files, on the memory key so it can be used on several computers.

Not all programs are available in a special portable application version, but many useful tools have been converted to work this way. In this article we'll explain how to get, install and use some of the best ones - and they're all completely free.
