Atlantis will behave as a truly portable and “stealth” application only if you use it from your SD card or any other removable drive. Thanks for the explanation, Robert :-) Hopefully this can be fixed in a future release of Atlantis, after all software is supposed to make people's lives easier, not ...

If I am not mistaken “Micro SD” is a Flash Memory Card? Right? Yes it is! The “C:” drive letter is normally reserved for the drive hosting the Windows system. Indeed. So the Micro SD, or Flash Memory Card, is D. Also note that Atlantis is no longer installed to the “C:\Atlantis” folder. This is most ...

Running

"C:\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe" -ssi -lsi

"D:\Atlantis\Atlantis.exe"

it does not.

Thanks Robert, bu that's not really where I want to go :-) To summarize, I have learnt that the ideal definition of "portable" means: It must run without installation. It must run on older versions of Windows which might not have been updated. It must not have any coupling with Internet Explorer ...

Thanks for the tip! I created a shortcut to Atlantis with -ssi -lsi as you suggested - it has been posted before somewhere here, I believe. It doesn't seem to work in Windows 7 though, Atlantis will still write to the registry... Isn't there another way to do this?

I use PDF Factory with Atlantis. It works great! As for readers, Sumatra PDF is definitely a lot less bloated - so faster and more secure - than Adobe.

But wouldn't it be nice to have a Greek add-on spellchecker?

Twelve add-ons to choose from is a bit thin - the EU alone has 23 official languages. If that's too much work for one person, why not go for a crowdsourcing alternative that works?

Permanently disabling writing to the Windows registry

The portable version is what made me love Atlantis. Unfortunately, every time I copy it to C:\ or even D:\, Atlantis thinks it has found a permanent home and starts using the registry - blatantly ignoring all portable settings and customisations. Is there a quick way to permanently disable this ...
