I am new to the idea of having portable applications and want to reduce the clutter I have on my PC. The thing is, every "portable" app I download wants me to install something onto my PC. To me that defeats the purpose of having an application that is portable. Or do I just not understand what a portable app is supposed to do?
I just want an executable that I have on a USB flash drive or external HDD and run the program from that, is that not how portables work?
And the portables I have been trying to use have mainly been from portableapps.com. The applications seem to want me to download their software, what is going on here?
Thanks, and sorry for all of the newbie questions!
Edit: I learned how to make my own portable apps, so I will be doing that forward.
