This newsreader has received very good comments in other groups me reads, so a look was taken and this was found: [URL]http://www.mesnews.net/gb/faq.php#cleusb[/URL] Is it possible to move Mesnews on a removable disk or an USB stick and let it work on another pc? Yes, it is possible with your own version of MesNews, you can take your settings and all newsgroups with you because Mesnews stores the data in its own folder. Because of this is it possible to take it away (on a ZIP drive or an USB key for example) and let it work on an other machine without writing data into your register or on your hard drive. If MesNews is already installed you need only to copy the default folder to your removable device. The default folder is known as MesNews and is placed in the folder Program Files of your used partition. When copied you can launch Mesnews2.exe from your removable disk. If MesNews isn't installed already it should be done to get the installation folder. After you've copied the folder you can remove the installation. Your version will run seperately (the files unins*.dat and unins*.exe can be removed on the removable disk). Attention, after copying and starting MesNews you shouldn't remove the removable storage device when Mesnews is in use, otherwise there will be a lot of writing and reading actions. MesNews should be closed before removing the disk. In Windows XP you can use the button 'Safely remove hardware'. You should notice that working with MesNews is slower on a removable device. The transfer rate is much lower than a hard drive. The best way is to use a USB key of the latest generation (2.0) of course this is also possible with an external hard drive.
