Installing and Runing Software from USB Stick 28 February 2009 at 6:23PM in Techie Stuff 8 replies 621 views

is it possible to run and install software on a USB stick.....my workplace has a c*ap policy on admin rights and installing software on PC i.e. you cant do it so thought it would be possible to run something from a USB stick instead.

Is it possible?

Out of interest, what are you trying to install that your work clearly don't want you to install?

most employers with a policy like this also make it a discipline offence to bypass the admin policies

I guess you boys work in an IT Dept

most virus infections in corporate networks are the result of people bypassing company rules and restrictions

it's the company that gets fined if it's found to have copied software , not the individual

mine is audited each day by the network to see whats installed
