I can say that this wont work because with Windows there is a registry edit for each application installed. Without those Registry files the appicaitons wont work. Grated if you installed the applicaitons to the External drive then they woudl. But just moving them wont do. Because teh executables wont recognize the path for which they are now located. Meaning they were installed to the C:\Program Files but if you move then teh executable will be looking to execuate the C:\Program Files appicaiton but it was moved to E:\ or whatever drive letter the external drive will be. So they wont execute properly.
You will have to actually install them right to the external drive in order for them to work properly.
