I believe I already explained that above.
But, in more detail...
Filling Windows with files and folders increases the registry which, overtime slows your PC down.
I've noticed improvements since I started using portable apps over 10 years ago.
Not only that, I used to perform regular reinstallations of Windows, at present my current MSI laptop is a pain in the ass to do this on, when settings are stored in the registry and in system folders, all these are lost for every installed app on that system! Great fun reinstalling 50 odd apps and adjusting the settings to how you had them before!!!
SyMenu currently has 169 apps installed. If all those were installed traditionally and stored settings in system folders etc, That's a hell of a shit storm to sort out after a fresh Windows installation!!!
Besides that, I can just unplug my Hard Drive and connect to another PC, making transferring this whole setup a piece of cake when I get a new PC.
There are many benefits for PC owners having portable apps, but very few for traditional installation. Hence my request.
Remember, SPS files, once created, which I have supplied you with, only require the adjusted of three fields on every update. Probably easier than updating this website with the same info!
