good question. 
Around December I had during my search for a miner for my mining station that i build, I discovered guiminer.
I work for a while with portable applications on my usb stick for home and work and I thought, would not it be nice if I try to make guiminer portable for a usb.
It is not so difficult, the launcher moves poclbm.ini to your usb stick after you have closed GUIminer.
poclbm.ini is normaly placed in: %APPDATA%\Roaming\poclbm\ (on Windows 7 this path translates to C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\poclbm)
When you start the launcher, the launcher checks if poclbm.ini exists in the installation directory on your usb, if it exists, the launcher Creates a folder in the appdata > roaming directory and moves the ini file to the folder, then it starts GUIminer.exe
When you close GUIminer, the launcher moves the file to your USB stick and remove the folder, so you do not have to worry that something is left on your PC.
And the advantage is that you no longer have to type in your data when you work on multiple PC`s

Wow this looks really good! Can I ask how you've ported it to make it work ?
PS: For those curious, I've installed, it works, and Kaspersky can't find viruses :3
Keep up the good work,
Roddy

Hello everyone.
Unfortunately, I must inform you that I stopped developing the guiminer portable launcher.
This is because I have not enough time to develop it further and i want make place for new projects.
Thank you for your support
