If you add a josm.cmd, you can start JOSM passing it some parameters. Normally you would point to a folder on the USB stick, but you can have it point to the C: drive as well.
I use the following (you need gnu-tools for wget.exe to work on Windows. And you will need to change the paths to relative paths, as you don't know what drive letter the USB stick will get): mkdir \data mkdir \data\osm "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe" -N " http://josm.openstreetmap.de/josm-latest.jar"; "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66\bin\java.exe" -Xmx1850M -classpath "C:\Data\OSM\josm-latest.jar;C:\Data\osm\jython-standalone-2.7.0.jar" org.openstreetmap.josm.gui.MainApplication pause 2016-05-14 23:54 GMT+02:00 john whelan <[email protected]>: > I hang my head in shame.
