Hello, I just want to make sure if I can use 7zg.exe (that comes in 7-Zip Portable) with commands (like x "%1" -o*) in a standalone way / without leaving traces just like the 7Z.exe or 7za.exe modules.
The installed non portable version of 7-Zip uses 7zG for the extraction jobs (that´s why I wonder whether the one that comes in the portableapps package is standalone), though I don´t plan to use the normal commands that make use of -slp- -an -ai... that don´t work in a portable way, instead I just want to use commands like the one posted above.

The answer is probably "No", not directly. The portable launchers do cleanup of files and the system's registry so if you don't launch the program that way who knows what's left behind. That being said, I don't know if the 7zG.exe program creates files or registry entries so there may not be anything to clean up.
You could test this out for yourself. Get on a system that's never run 7-Zip and use Regshot before and after running 7zG.exe with your command line options and then compare the two to see if anything is created or left in the registry by the program.
