Any way to use OneNote on Public Computer?

[Swreck]

I sometimes do research on public computers--either because I don't want to
bring my tablet or because only the public systems have access to external
databases.

While I can use a flash drive to get files on and off the systems, the
problem is that these systems don't have OneNote and don't allow s/w
installation. Often the employees don't even have that access.

Is there a way to run OneNote and a ON notebook from a flash drive and then
transfer it to my own system later? I'm seeing a lot of this on the Linux
side lately (flash drive with OS, apps, docs), but anything possible with
Windows/OneNote?

Thanks....

Due to the fact that Office (and OneNote) is heavily based on COM, this is
highly unlikely. The registry (and shared dll's) are critical for OneNote's
successful operation.

If they had done it in .NET on the other hand.....

Thanks Josh. As I feared. Now that some versions of Office have OneNote,
perhaps we'll start seeing it more on institutional machines.

VMware has a soultion where you can put the whole OS and any software you
want on a jump drive, as long as it will fit. Lookup ACE Option Pack. Here
is a link. http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/aop.html

edit

Now that is very very cool. I am going to check it out now. Now I just have
to convince myself to buy an 8GB flash drive when I already have a Tablet PC
and UMPC.

I'd buy one of the USB portable hard drives before I bought a flash drive.
For about $100, you can get over 100 MB storage, which also gives you enough
for backing up a lot of stuff. They are pretty small now.

Too bad I can't seem to find a way of using my Creative Zen as a portable
hard drive. It has 30GB.

Sounds interesting. Thanks for the pointer!

Do you have any idea on how much storage space would be the minimum?

I curently have Windows XP SP2 and Office 2007 with a few other small
programs on a 4GB jump drive. It works fine, but would be even more
productive to have a 8 GB drive. The 4GB does not allow much space for
additional files.

Thanks !

This way would be an alternative for our students not having notebooks.
They mostly work in our "open" students' pools and for a forseeable
future the main Admin will not have ON installed with the "standard"
apps [siiiigh].
