It allows you to run just about any application portably. This is a good stop-gap measure until someone creates a smaller portable version of a launcher. I list seven steps on how to use it to run WebRunner here: http://www.luckydisasters.com/2007/10/16/how-to-7-steps-to-making-webrunner-portable/ There are still a couple of oddities with X-Launcher that I haven't figured out yet, but I really haven't dug very deep into the config file yet. I've played with it just enough to get it working. If you find any problems or spot any improvements you'd make to my process let me know, I'm always looking for an easier way to do things... Enjoy!

I have made some true portable apps like you describe so I'll look into it a bit further. I hadn't thought to look for the profile folder. Thanks Ian.

However, that being said, for it to be truly portable, the profile location has to be called out as well, and the run switch becomes rather long. The other thing is that this is still not a "leaves no track" portable installation either, even with specifying the profile location. WebRunner creates a WebRunner folder in %user%\documents & settings\Application Data\ All it is (when using a command switch) is a profile.dat file. Now, this all being said, there may be a cleaner way to do this that is truly portable, but I don't know. (The below is in regards to Windows, I don’t know about the Linux or Mac versions)
