Create a portable finger with a Windows program

I am currently trying to make the application portable.

Where are the general locations where the application puts its settings in the Windows machine?

Do you know about other places besides

-registry

-Currentuser / Application Data

-app folder

?

After you've looked at all the places you could think of, try running the Process Monitor application in the background. Using the correct filters, it will show you which registry keys and files were available. And it will show the exact stack trace for each operation, so you won't have a hard time finding the source of those calls.

Just for completeness. There are a couple of places in the registry (current and local machine). It depends on how the developer saved it.



As Sean said in a comment, it also depends on the application structure and the Windows version. (Thanks Sean)
