This portable IM provides all the same great features as Yahoo! Messenger, but with a file size small enough to operate off a portable USB drive.
Downloading YahELite Portable App
First, download the YahELite portable app on the YahELite website. A window will appear asking users to specify where to download the application. Download to your desktop for easy access. You will only need to download to your PC once.
Once you have successfully downloaded the ZIP file, extract the file inside your USB Drive. Next, launch “YahELite.exe,” and enter the command “/ycopy” at the bottom of the launch window. A window will appear asking where to copy Yahoo; ensure your USB drive is connected and select this drive as the destination. Once copied, delete the original files, in addition to “C:\Windows\Yahelite.ini.” Users can then save the file to their USB drive. Double-clicking the YahELite application will launch the program.
Portable Apps Housekeeping Items
Users should always remember to shut down YahELite after use and safely eject their USB drives prior to removing it from the computer. These safety practices will help keep from YahELite’s application files from being corrupted and maintain memory on the USB drive.
