freakazoid: jPortable can work independently of PA programs, including muCommander and some others I've tested. I tried to edit the entry to help give some idea of how to make that work. |

Is it really stealth? I have only recently switched to Firefox Portable and I always find Mozilla folders in AppData and ProgramData.

@Emka: Can you post in forums about what you're seeing? Sometimes if you have an add-on it will write to appdata.

There was a Crashpad issue causing the APPDATA directory to be left behind that was fixed in today's releases. I can't reproduce the others on any OS. Please post a complete bug report in the support forum here: http://portableapps.com/forums/support/other_apps We have hundreds of apps and bug reports as comments on another site often won't be seen and won't wind up being addressed, at least not in a timely manner.
