Portable Usage

[XrX ca]

OK, I know this has been brought up before, but I'm starting to use ImgBurn in a portable fashion (off a USB stick) and it works quite well, and once the settings are set correctly in the INI file it leaves very little footprint on the host machine.

HOWEVER, even with all the REGISTRY_* options in the INI file turned off I still get the following keys showing up in the registry

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ImgBurn.AutoPlay.1

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ImgBurn.Build.1

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ImgBurn.Write.1

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ImgBURN

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ImgBurn.AutoPlay.1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ImgBurn.Build.1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ImgBurn.Write.1

 

This isn't really an issue for any of my machines, but when I'm doing something at a friends (the dumbs ones, because the smart ones would already have imgburn on their system) I like to leave the system "as i found it" which means no extraneous keys...

 

I've written a wrapper to save the current keys if they're there, and either remove them or restore them when ImgBurn exits, but it would be nice if there was a cmd line option to keep it from writing anything to the registry.

/NOSAVESETTINGS would kinda get around that, but of course then it won't save them at all, and not just not the forced reg key stuff.
