I see some of the apps listed on tpfc create keys. Which keys are acceptable and which are no nos?

The keys you have specified are ones that get modified no matter portable program you use.
The first is ComDLG32--I think it gets modified if you use the Open/Save dialogue.
The MRU keys (look at the end of the keyname) means "Most Recently Used" and Windows creates these to keep track of Recent files run, etc. They have no effect on portability.

Thanks for response.

So I know now to ignore MRU keys.

Is it still alive? I thought it died long ago.

Was a good editor but lack of Unicode support (and dozen of bugs) moved me away for Notepad++ favour.
