The change log at
https://www.adlice.com/docs/ucheck/release-notes/changelog/ for the latest UCheck v5.3.0 (rel. 16-Feb-2024) states in part:
- Consolidated Tech portable available features
- Added "fully portable" feature, if not installed will work from a current dir's subdir
After updating to UCheck Free Portable v5.3.0.0 (located on a removable USB stick at E:\Portable\Ucheck 5_3_0) I discovered that all
my custom settings had disappeared, including the path where my portable apps are located (History & Settings | Custom Locations) as well as my program exclusions (History & Settings | Exclusions). I re-created my custom settings and it appears that those settings are now stored in a
new subfolder called \UCheck (see attached images).
Question 1: Will the Portable builds of UCheck v5.3.0.0 and higher run correctly if I manually delete the hard drive files (C:\Program Data\UCheck) and registry entries (e.g., Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adlice Software\UCheck and Computer\HKEY_USERS\<
my user ID>\SOFTWARE\Adlice Software\UCheck) created by previous Portable and BETA builds of UCheck?
Question 2: If my UCheck Portable executable (UCheck_portable64.exe) is moved to a different folder on my USB stick do I have to copy and paste the entire contents of the E:\Portable\UCheck 5_3_0\UCheck subfolder to that new location in order to retain my configuration settings and exclusions?
