If you are checking to see if MM protable leaves registry key entries behind (because, yes, it's true that not all portable programs are "completely" reg free)
you have to make sure the computer you are testing it on has never had the "regular" install on it. If you find some reg entries with a
current portable version installed they could, in fact, be from the old regular install.
Even if you have so called "powerful" uninstallers like Revo, IOBit, etc. that scan the reg for traces, it's possible some things could be left behind in
some scenarios depending on the application.
I use portable and I get registry entries when searching the reg just for the term "mediamonkey".
But it's difficult to tell on my machine because after I built it, I briefly had the regular install on it.
I could go through and try to manually clean the reg out but that is annoying and I'm currently preparing to do a reinstall
of my system anyway (periodic maintenance). I'll try to report back after I reinstall MM portable in a clean reg state.
