Glen,
It does but I had renamed the Legacy directory before I tired this in
an attempt to simulate a library computer. Still, it may not have
been a perfect simulation so it would be best if someone did a field
test.
Regards,
Bob

Does the computer with the guest account have Legacy already installed
locally?

Hi Charlotte,
First off let me say that I generally don''t use a flash drive or
portable
hard drive for this. When I go to the library I usually take a
laptop with
me and run Legacy on it.
While this doesn't have anything to do with Legacy a great place to
learn
about portable applications is:
http://portableapps.com/
So, as far as using Legacy on a portable drive: I don't know that
you need
anything. As a test I copied my entire Legacy directory to a
flash drive. Mine was about 400MB but with flash drives as large as
8GB for under $100 this shouldn't be a huge issue. I then took the
drive to a Windows machine that was logged in with a guest account.
Using Windows Explorer I navigated to the Legacy.exe file on the
flash drive
and double clicked. I had to open the Customize->Locations tab and
correct
all the pathnames there for the drive letter assigned to the flash
drive. I
also used the File->Open Family File menu to insure I had the file
from the
flash drive loaded.
After that everything seemed to work normally although, to be
honest, I
didn't do extensive testing. Perhaps there are some other members
out there
that can chime in with their experiences using Legacy with a portable
device.
Regards,
Bob

Thanks for pointing this out Gene.
Folks should be aware that MojoPac requires the logged in user on
the
PC to have administrative privileges or have MojoPac Usher
software installed. This, unfortunately make it unusable at most
libraries.
