Hi John.
I checked on my registry and it seems that Portable Thunderbird leaves these keys:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UnreadMail\Profilename Application REG_SZ "J:\PortableThunderbird\thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -profile "J:\PortableThunderbird\profile" -mail 14.03.2006 18:53:02 101
I am using Portable Thunderbird Launcher 1.1.1 Beta 3 with Thunderbird version 1.5
Kind Regards
Thorsten

It's a known issue, but I have a fix in place for PTB 1.5.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Hi John.
I just sent you a modified version by mail.
It handles two of the problems.
1.) it removes the left behind keys
2.) it handles the "Make default mail-app" stuff.
Hope it helps

I was taking the approach of:
1. Backing up existing TB keys
2. Merging in the ones for PTB
3. Launching TB
4. Waiting a few seconds
5. Restoring the TB keys that were there (if any)
Were you taking the same approach? I think I just accidentally deleted what you sent me (I'm having a rather off day today).

Not completely.
I would rather suggest keeping PortableThunderbird.exe in memory until thunderbird closes.
I will resend the version right now.

For a couple reasons:
1. It's sucking up an extra 5MB of RAM
2. It will close itself if TB restarts due to an update
I may try to handle it right away and then again at close, though. I'd been debating that.

mhh
without leaving something in the background, you will never be able to clean up, I think.
The regvalues under Unread are changed on a regular base.
So there has to be something "after" thunderbird to clean up.
Ony my system it keeps 2.6 MB private bytes. Maybe we should make a variable for the user to decide. I usually want to leave no trances in what way ever, as I use it on customer machines
