Jarte can be run directly from a USB flash drive so you can physically carry it with you, along with your documents, and plug it into any available Windows computer.

The Jarte word processor is small and easily fits on a USB flash drive. If Jarte is run in portable mode from a protected folder the results will be unpredictable! In particular, Windows Vista and above protect the Program Files folder by default. Some computers are set up to protect certain folders, such as the Program Files folder. Warning: Forcing Jarte to run in portable mode when it is running from the Windows drive is not recommended unless you are sure of what you are doing. The Portable.ini file must contain the two following lines: However, this behavior can be overridden by placing a file named Portable.ini in the Jarte program folder.

In all other cases (e.g., Jarte is run from a flash drive, secondary hard drive, CD, etc) Jarte runs in portable mode. Jarte runs in normal mode whenever it is run from the same drive on which Windows is installed or when it is run from a network drive. Access to Jarte's data folder can be gained by clicking the Data Folder button on Jarte's System Information window. That location varies according the version of Windows being used. When Jarte is running in 'normal mode' (i.e., it is installed on the main Windows drive or a network drive) it stores its settings and program data in a folder location designated by Microsoft's programming guidelines. When Jarte runs in portable mode it stores all of its settings and other program data (e.g., custom spelling dictionaries, Clip List clips, backup document files, etc) in a subfolder named 'Data' within the Jarte program folder. When Jarte runs from a USB flash drive, CD, or DropBox folder it automatically runs in 'portable mode'.
