Does this mean I can put some programs on a memory stick – my Dell Mini 9 has almost o room left on it's tiny 8GB SSD ! It would be great to have some other programs available if I could somehow install them onto the memory card yet still get their ICON to show on desktop or in the PROGRAMS list.

What if you want it to default to the current user's profile? Would this work?

%USERPROFILE%Program Files

It always says that there was an error when modifying it. Could this have to do with administrative privileges?
