[Solved] Portable.txt (better: Portable.ini)

Hmmmm there's a typo - it should be Portable.ini actually ;) And it needs special content:
[Paths]
LogFilesPortable=1

As you can probably guess from that, it would store Log files in the program folder (something maybe useful when using it on an USB stick). At the same time, the Recovery files will still be on the machine they were created, since they might be quite specific to that machine, and e.g. restoring them on the wrong machine could cause havoc.
 
Thanks for clearing that up, PepiMK. However, I don't think it's functioning as you described. After a scan, it still used config files and saved logs to 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Spybot - Search & Destroy' and nothing in the installation directory was added/changed.

Since we're on the topic: Why not just move all configuration files to the spybot directory and then allow an option to specify where to save recovery/logs/etc? This would take some headaches out of portability/running it in bartpe :red:
 
Has anyone gotten portable.ini to actually work properly?

I have it in the app directory and it has the information as stated above, hasn't worked.

Merry Christmas
