Having recently bought a U3 Drive I've got the bug for portable apps.  This unfortunately has jarred with my love of the settings provider provided within .net 2 which insists on storing settings in the Documents and Settings folder structure.

I've done some research into whether it is possible to change this default functionality and as with just about everything in .net there is!

I've taken the time to write this up as a Code Project article available from My Code Project articles.

The article covers creating a general xml settings file that resides in the applications folder, but also includes a class for U3 specific functionality.

I've also produced U3 specific versions of my ThumbGen and MiniCalc applications, available from my U3 Downloads area.
