I have been testing Vedit 6.15.1 installed on USB memory stick, and it works fine.

I have created a shortcut to Vedit at the root of the memory stick. When I insert the stick in the USB connector, a folder opens. Then I just double-click on the shortcut to start Vedit. So there is not much need for autorun memory stick.

However, I noticed that when I insert memory stick in a new computer, the toolbar button configuration is reset to default value. Is it so that the toolbar configuration is stored in Windows registry? It would be better if the configuration was saved in the memory stick.

They are stored in the registry.

I still would prefer a fully auto-run memory stick. :-)
I have only experimented a few minutes with the new "U3" type memory sticks.

Yes, it is stored in the registry. We use the Windows toolbar API functions and they store the toolbar settings in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GreenviewData\Vedit\Ver6.1\Toolbar

Not right now, but later I will see if it might be possible to copy the registry item from the memory stick to the registry. I will have to add a command to have VEDIT re-load the registry settings.

That would be useful. It would also make it possible to have different toolbar configurations for each project.

BTW, with USB stick, it might then be good idea to clean the registry setting when closing Vedit.

Interesting, I will keep that in mind.

Or... copy the Toolbar setting back to the USB stick.

I made a macro to save and load the toolbar:
http://koti.mbnet.fi/pkl/vedit/macros/toolbar_save.vdm

However, when you load the toolbar, it is not displayed immediately. You need to close and restart Vedit. But at least this is a way to move toolbar configuration into a new computer. (But who knows if it works with different versions of Windows.)

That is a good start.
I need to create a macro command which reloads the toolbar config from the registry. Currently this is done during startup, before even startup.vdm is run.
