I'm not sure when this started but v5.11 portable install is storing
GlobalSettings.xml
LastRun.ffs_gui
LastSyncs.log
in
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\FreeFileSync
rather than the install directory which defeats the purpose.

WinXP if it matters

The internal handling is quite simple: If FFS finds "uninstall.exe" it assumes local installation, portable otherwise.

Problem solved. I must have forgotten to press the Portable button in some previous install. Thank you very much for the quick reply.
