HDD from old computer configured as USB disk....how do I

get my new XP pro operating system to recognise all of the applications on
the USB drive?

I want to use my applications both at home and work and just move the USB
HDD around.

You can't, for the reasons Richard and Jim explained the first time you
asked. Since the answers were correct, asking again will not result in a
different answer.

Nice idea and don't think that you were the first to want to do this.

Of course it goes against the rules of commerce: you know, pay to use on ONE
computer, therfore CAN'T possibly be used on two. Not right, not legal and
just not the done thing.

Windows XP also has a little file called the registry: this also makes it
impossible to achieve what you want.

Now instead of posting the same question again, go and search [do a google]
on Windows Registry and you will have everything expained in greater detail:
that is if you really care to know better.
