I don't see this on our Windows XP SP3 clean test machine in limited or admin mode. Which OS are you running? Are you running the VMGPortable.exe launcher or magnifier.exe directly? And where did you install to? Not to C:\Program Files (unsupported, non-portable, etc) right?

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Running Windows XP SP3, and starting the portable launcher. Installed everything as should be, but in a directory PortableApps on my D: partition - where I run a limited number of portable applications on my main computer for various reasons. I have no idea why I'm getting this and you obviously are not...

I tried the previous release again, and there was nothing left behind after closing the program.
