An app and 2 games I have on my flash drive.
The app is Aida32, a system diagnostic tool, free and fully portable, and damn useful for the roaming tech. Weighs in at under 5 megs too. Info and download can be found here
The 2 games are Titans of Steel and Well of Souls
These are not 100% portable, but for me they are "portable enough". They do leave registry traces on the machine they are installed on, but can then be moved over to the flash drive with no ill effects on gameplay. Both will tolerate drive letter changes.
Titans requires wing.dll and wing32.dll which will refuse to run from anywhere other than the windows system32 directory. Not much of a problem since most systems out there already have them.
Well of Souls footprint on the flashdrive will grow as you download other users skins. This can be disabled in options though. Well leaves traces in HKCU, but its small and nothing personal.
Similar to my style of camping, my style of portable computing tempers "leave no trace" down to "do no harm", as anything run will usually leave a trace somewhere thanks to windows keeping notes on its own.

AIDA32 is outdated. try Everest Home: http://majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
lavalys, the company that make everest, bought AIDA32.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake,
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
For "These are not 100% portable, but for me they are 'portable enough' ".
=
"They are portabLE, but they do not RUN portabLY"
aka
"they are portable but not stealthy"

If you wish WoS to be completely stealth, add the commandline:
reg delete "HKCU\Software\Synthetic Reality" /f
to a batch file and have it execute when WoS closes. I am not certain wether you need admin rights or not to modify HKCU.
Titans leaves no traces but requires wing32.dll as described above.
You don't need admin to modify HKCU, the CU stands for current user.
Ya thats what I was hoping, but wasnt 100% certain.
Anyway, its a bit of a hack I suppose, but it works. WoS is a fun little game on the go
