My batch file is useful if you want to run digiKam from a thumb drive or
other removable storage. digiKam does not write to the Windows registry.
Instead, its settings are stored in the digikamrc file. It normally stores
that file and others at 
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\digiKam

My batch file uses an environment variable to redirect that folder to the
removable storage. There is also the issue of the storage locations for the
image and database files, as drive letter assignments can change for
removable drives. My forum post at PortableFreeware.com discusses this in
more detail.

Some uses may want to store the image, and even the database files, in the
cloud, instead of on removable storage. You can map a cloud storage space to
a drive letter that digiKam can access. Windows has the Map Network Drive
facility and the Net Use command. Some cloud providers have their own
utilities.
