If you are a Total Commander fan like me, you would like to have TC always with you in your USB stick.
In TC web site (http://www.ghisler.com) you can find tc2usb tool that is an installer to make TC portable.
But there is another way.
TC can use System32 or program folder to store his configuration files (wincmd.ini, wcx_ftp.ini). The switch that TC sets to save configuration files chosen location is probably written in registry, so, if you move your TC copy from a pc to another, configuration files will be searched always in System32 folder (default location).
The solution is that TC can be instructed to search for configuration files in certain folders through command parameters.
These are the steps to make TC fully portable:
1 - Copy totalcmd folder from a normal installation in destination folder (example J:\SyMenu\ProgramFiles\totalcmd)
2 - Create into new folder the following StartTC.bat file:
echo off
"%~dp0TOTALCMD.EXE" /i="%~dp0wincmd.ini" /F="%~dp0wcx_ftp.ini"
3 - Create a new SyProgram in SyMenu that points to StartTC.bat file
TC is now portable.
Bye
