Yes, you can – and this makes FreeOTFE more portable, and easier to use, if you want to take it with you on (for example) a USB drive. There is only one exception though; if you are using Windows Vista, and have User Account Control (UAC) switched on, you will not be allowed to store your settings with the FreeOTFE executable if it is stored under your “Program Files” directory. This is due to one of the limitations imposed by Windows Vista’s security system; though you are still free to store FreeOTFE’s settings in your user profile.
