OpenRA...Portable?

Hi all,

You all probably know the old gem that was C&C: Tiberian Dawn & C&C: Red Alert...well...the nice and talented people over at http://openra.res0l.net/ are trying to revive this old classic trough opensource software.
You're able to play C&C: Tib dawn (skirmish) and C&C: Red Alert (skirmish) they're still working on the single player scenario part but skirmish is working, with bots or online, whatever you desire.

The program writes in the My Documents folder for data and content it downloads from the internet and is unable to install in a protected PC (like work or school)

Video folder and IMDB

When you got lots of videos, there's only title and year and perhaps a picture. It would be nice if portable apps could browse videos and display title, year, comment from IMDB about movie and the quality of video. The quality is useful if you are a collector.
