Until now all applications can be installed to one prefix - they should 
work there out of the box. If you want to try, put your USB-Stick as 
package install directory and start the applications from there.

There are some things though - application settings go to C:\Documents 
and Settings\%USER%\.kde - you will have those settings staying on the 
computer.

There might be a way to change this but I currently don't know it and 
didn't test it yet.

If you try it - please post your results here;
If you have questions or problems, either ask them here or in the IRC 
channel #kde-windows on freenode.net.
