Best place to put .exe files of non-installed software ?
Some of my software apps are not installed and simply consist of a folder containing an .exe file and a bunch of .dlls. One runs the software simply by clicking on the .exe file. To get rid of the software one simply has to delete the folder containing it. No de-installation procedure is needed to remove it from the system. I don't know the technical term for this kind of software ("portable" ?). Is there a preferred place to "park" this kind of software ? I guess it would be inappropriate to put it under "Program files" since these are installed apps. Basically, of course, it doesn't matter. I could leave them on a USB key if I wanted or leave them in the "My Downloads" folder but I just wondered if there is some common convention.
