Introduction of the initialization file allows Hot Keyboard to be run from a flash drive without installation on any computer.

Hot Keyboard has built-in feature allowing almost full automation of copying Hot Keyboard and your macros to the flash drive in two steps:

1. Click the Settings -> Run from a flash drive menu item
2. Select a folder on your flash drive where you want Hot Keyboard to be copied to.

Then Hot Keyboard copies the following files to the selected location:

• HotKeyb.exe - the main executable file
• Keyboards\KeyboardLayoutTool.exe - Hot Keyboard layout tool
• Keyboards\default.txt - default Hot Keyboard layout
• Keyboards\layout.txt - current Hot Keyboard layout
• HkHook64.exe - support executable for 64 bit OS
• HkbRes.dll, hkhook30.dll, HkHook64_30.dll - Hot Keyboard libraries
• hotkeyb.chm - Hot Keyboard documentation
• hk.ini - initialization file
• hk_settings.ini - settings file
• hotkeyb_3_2.data - macros file

When you insert this flash drive into a computer, all you need is to open the folder with Hot Keyboard and start the HotKeyb.exe application.

Restrictions

When running from a flash drive some Hot Keyboard functionality is not available. You won't be able to integrate Hot Keyboard into Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer.
