You can set and remove reg entries, before and after use of TB. Like
with GnuPG, if you remember.
Thus in the Registry will not be left any trail, if that is the concern.
Then, you don't have to install (again) TB on a portable media. It's
enough if you copy the folder with already installed TB to it.
Then, before running TB, you just run the saved TB reg entry (the .reg)
file, to inject its settings into Registry, and after you are finished,
you run another reg file, to delete the injected settings/entry.
The only thing you would have to do is to modify slightly this reg
entry, so that it directs to the drive letter of the USB stick or any
other removable media.
So the point is that TB can run portable, and even very much portable.
The Very Much method consists of compression of executables (counting in
dll files as well), so it occupies less space. This compression is
possible with UPX program, for instance.
If you compress some older versions, 1.4 or so, then you can run TB even
from a floppy diskette. (In this case, the modified reg entry would
point to A:\ drive.)
