Thanks RJ! It’s funny – I was all big on my thumb drives for a while, but now hardly use them. Maybe this will inspire me to dig back in.

As far as I know .u3p files are renamed .zip files. You can extract the .u3p file with WinRar I believe and then use the exe file in there (it might look for a U3 drive though) if it wont extract, change the extension to .zip and try again.

I like cookies, so I wish I knew the answer. As far as I know, though, U3 is proprietary. Maybe somebody can correct me.

Now if only you could tell me how to do the reverse and put U3 apps on a non-U3 drive, I'd give you a cookie…
