OK, so I've been investigating this further... I can't find a single
location in the source code where C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files\Quick
Search Deskbar is referenced directly.

All file access seems to go through DQSDTools.WriteFile, which only allows
writing in the install directory (read from registry, written there by the
installer) or in the AppData directory (also dynamically looked up).

I think you should try it out, and see if you can get it to run from, say,
C:\temp\dqsd. 

Also, you could try adding some localsearches, verify that the history works
(up- and down arrows should browse through the recent search history), etc.

Does anybody have any fears about this? I'm feeling pretty calm :-)
