The association itself is the only part that would need to be added or
modified within the registry. Of course, it would need to point to the
portable app which would negate the association's portability, but the app
itself would still remain portable and would leave the registry alone.
You can have an association point to a portable app that resides on a USB
stick, a CD or DVD or even a network share but it would only function as
long as the USB stick, etc. was attached/mounted and using the same exact
volume letter. The first time it's not there, you'll be asked to associate
the filetype with something else and the portable association will be
broken.
Peace,
Gman
