Yes, and this is very important. Some programs,
Calibre for instance, in their portable versions, and I think Firefox too, will
create a folder on their own. NVDA does not. If you don't create a folder ahead
of time for it where you want it to go, you could splatter the NVDA files all
over the root of your hard drive, program files, or whatever folder you choose
without creating an NVDA subdirectory. I learned that the hard way.

Subject: Re: [nvda] create portable copy But if you type a path, create a folder first, just
for the portable version. In general, programs put themselves in a folder
they create at the end of a path you specify, though you can't assume
that. NVDA doesn't, and the files are placed in the last folder of the
path you specify. So, if the path is c:\misc, that's m I s c, and
you stop there, the files and folders created will be all over the misc
folder. In this case, misc, m I s c, is the name for my
miscellaneous folder. If you create a folder first in that folder, such as
NVDA, and write the path as follows,
c:\misc\nvda
the folders and files will be placed in the NVDA
folder.

1. Press NVDA+n to open the NVDA menu
2. Press T for the tools menu
3. Choose the "Create portable copy" item.
Alternatively, if NVDA isn't running, you can run the setup file that you
download from the website and press the "Create portable copy" button from the
setup screen.
Either way, it will ask for a path, that's when you put in whatever path
you want, such as G:\NVDA as you noted
