The files hosted here are standard portable apps. You can unzip them anywhere you'd like on any drive (thumbdrive, portable hard drive, iPod, your desktop, network share) and use them as portable apps.

u3P files are U3 Program files. You can only use them on a U3-branded thumbdrive. You install them through the U3 Launchpad within Add New Software.

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