Re: USB vs Network MikTex portable

I have portable MiKTex on a network drive. I use it with Windows 7 on a
managed PC at work where USB storage is discouraged.   The network drive is
mapped to a drive letter and I have the path to MiKTeX set in the user
environment
so other programs can find pdflatex, etc.  I use the portable MiKTex
script's system tray tool for updates and package management, but most of
the time it is not required.

Some sites may have policies that prevent running programs from a network
drive.   Can you run some trivial program
from the network drive?
