Chrome Issue

Google Chrome ties into Windows more than any other browser (actually uses Windows components for SSL, password encryption, etc) and figures out that it's running from a network drive and then screws itself up. It's a known bug within Chrome itself (not in Chrome Portable). And it will likely never be fixed as they have no interest in running from network drives.

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