[QUOTE="krs, post: 1836127, member: 67742"] I think running an application on an external drive depends on the specific application - so there is not a general yes/no answer. I have downloaded the odd application that actually ended up on my main desktop folder (not in the Application folder) and ran fine from there. I'm sure that application would run fine on an external. And then I also had some apps where the message comes up "Make sure the app is in the Application folder or move it back there, if it is not" - those would probably not run properly on an external. And then there are all those in between. My question would be - why would you ever want to do that? PS: I see you answered the question one minute before I asked.:D [/QUOTE]
