alexpgpOne more note, and then I'll call it a night.
Some time ago, I downloaded a pretty nifty piece of software (USBDLM) that installs as a Windows service and allows you to control what drive letters are assigned to USB drives plugged into your system (for example, you could always have your "Geek Squad" USB drive always show up as drive K:). This is royally helpful if you use a backup routine that expects to see your backup directory, which resides on a USB drive, sitting on a particular drive.
To a lesser extent, from a usability standpoint, it also allows you to install applications, though they will still be tied to machine the USB drive is connected to and on which the application was installed (registry issues, dontchaknow).
And on that note, I shall go to sleep.
Cheers...
