She may install the portable also on the main HD
I suggest that instead then fight with messed up folders, also the portable has a .gimp "user folder" but since is portable is not in the user directory but contained inside.
A last suggestion if you are using 7 DON'T install the portable in Program Files
Install where you like, directly in C, or in Document but not in program files
because if is there Win 7 will prevent you in any way to add or remove script, plugins and whatelse
Right.

The only issue from a user perspective is that the with the regular version, you can have Gimp as the default program for your graphics file like jpeg, tiff, etc. With portable version, you cannot double-click and open a file with gimp. Other than this, you are all set.
