Just for fun I copied the whole directory from Program Files to a USB thumb drive. Low and behold it ran as a complete "portable app" from the thumb drive on another computer that had a completely different version of Windows on it. (installed on 7, runs on Vista and XP). This is now a very good "all-in-one" system utility for running portable on any computer. Some apps will let you do this, and of course, some won't even run. It's all hit or miss.

I was hesitant to try it because it looked like a cheap knock-off of TuneUp Utilities, but this has a much different set of features. I was able to find a portable version by scouring Google for a bit, assuming you can't get it to work like Steve did. Just saw this yesterday on Lifehacker!
