the patch? cause the patch doesn't check the net at all, just searchs the hard drive for the game files... and the drive letter will not matter at all...

I used to have two pc's networked together and SE4 loaded on one. I could run se4 from a the other pc usign a shortcut and a mapped drive. I think if it works for taht it should work for USB. Although I don't know that much about USB.

You don't need to have a reg file, but you may want one.
The HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Malfador Machinations\Space Empires IV stores your locate settings, such as the 'File, Options' settings.
Same Reg location for both Version of SE IV.

No the game it's self looks for it, I had the problem of trying to run it before I had all my computer set up before andv was told that it looks for it.
