The only disadvantage that I'm aware of is that icons for the applications don't appear on the desktop. When you open portable MiKTeX, you get a small icon on the task bar and you access, e.g., TeXworks from that.

Hi! Just a quick question: if I install miktex PORTABLE on my hard drive (say c:\users\....\miktex) would I have any disavantages with respect to the strandard install? Thanks!
