My point is that making Emacs compliant with the Windows apps guidelines requires to store stuff is specific places, to register things into registry, etc. Whereas at the moment, none of this is required, hence you can move your Emacs directory at will. -- Fabrice --94eb2c0709000c6eec055dc87256 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

>=C2=A0 ..an app to be really portable cannot write the host machine, so= .emacs.d should go on the device where

I think you are talking about a different sense of "portable&qu= ot; than the
one used in this thread.=C2=A0 "Portable" here means it can be ca= rried on
an external storage device, and will work when connected to a random
machine.

No I use it with the same mean= ing as you do.=C2=A0
My point is that making Emacs compliant with= the Windows apps guidelines=C2=A0
requires to store stuff is spe= cific places, to register things into registry, etc.
Whereas at t= he moment, none of this is required, hence you can move your
Emac= s directory at will.
