If everything is on the same stick, can't you use relative paths to the executable and the data dir?
Your command C:\bag\PortableApps\tiddlydesktop\nw.exe --user-data-dir=C:\bag\PortableApps \tiddlydesktop\data Then becomes (when launched from a bat file inside tiddlydesktop) nw.exe --user-data-dir=.\data Or at least I think. It should run the same then even if your copy it all to your flash and run it on j: drive or something.
