TextPad 6 and 7 have gone what I call "semi" portable. If you launch it with two command-line parameters:
-f [directory for the configuration file]
-k [directory for the license key]
it will get its setup etc. from those directories.
I've got the following directory structure:
Clips\
config\
license\
Macros\
Samples\
Spelling\
Syntax\
system\
README.TXT
TextPad.bat
Textpad.exe
TextPad.ico
in "PortableApps\TextPad"
What would I need to add to this so that the platform could pick up the parameters and feed them to TextPad? Once I can do that, the rest will be a piece of cake. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Using this format, which can conveniently be added to from this template, write a launcher file as per here (paying special attention to the command line bit, compile the launcher with this tool, and you're done.
[EDIT] If you need help with this, just ask, and we'll be glad to provide more help.
