Folders Popup is a Portable App
-------------------------------

A portable application (portable app), sometimes also called standalone, is a program designed to run on a compatible computer without being installed in a way that modifies the computers configuration information. This type of application can be stored on any storage device, including internal mass storage and external storage such as USB drives and floppy disks  storing its program files and any configuration information and data on the storage medium alone (source: Wikipedia).

Specifically, Folders Popup does not write any information in the Windows registry or in any system or temporary Windows folder. Running the .EXE file launches Folders Popup in its current directory. Thats it! The app creates a temporary subdirectory (named _temp) to store small images and language files required at run time. This folder is deleted when the app quits. The only permanent file created by Folders Popup is the FoldersPopup.ini file containing your favorite folders and options.
