Typically when someone wants a program to run from a USB
drive they are
looking for the following criteria:

*  All data, settings, keys etc. to be kept strictly on the
USB key.

*  Nothing on the host machine should be depended on or
altered (except
the specific data being worked on).

*  In particular, the registry  should not be depended on or
altered.

Neither WinPT or GPGshell meet these criteria since they
both alter the
registry. Also, by default they look for key and setting
files on the
host machine.

Using the Copy2USB utility with GPGshell creates GPGshell
& all
necessary GnuPG binaries _including_ Keyrings & Trust.db
*on* the USB
Drive within a self-accessing Directory.

What it lacks is the familiar GUI so knowledge of Command
Line is
necessary.  Other than that; if fits & works
delightfully from the Thumb
Drive.  There is also GPG2GO which will work from either a
Floppy or a
Thumb Drive & is totally 'traceless'.

Hello Group;

 

>From my understanding if you use the utility
"copy2USB" it writes "ini"
files in the new directory and does not write anything to
your PC.

 

You do need an installed copy only to copy from.  After you
have copied
the required files from your system you can uninstall
"GPG / GPGshell"
from your system and use only the one on your USB.

 

I have been doing this for a time and have not found any
entries on my
PC'
