Well as long as you have a CD drive on your machine and the ability to unzip you still stand a chance of installing these portable apps. 

If you have no USB ports and no internet connection then take a bank CD and head to your nearest netcafe. Download all the portable apps you need. Burn them onto your disc. And then load it into your machine.

If you don&amp;#39;t have a working CD drive either... then contact the National Human Right Commission and tell them of your working conditions.&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1119" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>download computer tutorials</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/lounge/archive/2008/06/18/does-your-office-it-villains-not-let-you-install-anything.aspx#1118</link><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2008 10:19:12 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:1118</guid><dc:creator>download computer tutorials</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Pingback from &amp;nbsp;download computer tutorials&lt;/p&gt;

Like Sidin said, you don&amp;#39;t even need a pendrive if you have internet. You can just download the files and unzip them. &lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1052" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does your office IT villains not let you install anything?</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/lounge/archive/2008/06/18/does-your-office-it-villains-not-let-you-install-anything.aspx#1040</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:11:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:1040</guid><dc:creator>Sankar</dc:creator><description>What do we do when USB ports are disabled?&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1040" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does your office IT villains not let you install anything?</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/lounge/archive/2008/06/18/does-your-office-it-villains-not-let-you-install-anything.aspx#1039</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2008 11:06:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:1039</guid><dc:creator>Monica</dc:creator><description>Wow!Thats a brilliant idea...no more buttering up the &amp;#39;IT&amp;#39; villians.I&amp;#39;m glad i read up ur blog while casual surfing&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1039" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does your office IT villains not let you install anything?</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/lounge/archive/2008/06/18/does-your-office-it-villains-not-let-you-install-anything.aspx#1038</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2008 07:53:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:1038</guid><dc:creator>gaurav</dc:creator><description>does the IT department keep the option of downloading open for you??? &lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1038" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Does your office IT villains not let you install anything?</title><link>http://blogs.livemint.com/blogs/lounge/archive/2008/06/18/does-your-office-it-villains-not-let-you-install-anything.aspx#1021</link><pubDate>Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:14:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">69a35da2-a32a-4865-9f9a-b94bb9d2309f:1021</guid><dc:creator>Arun</dc:creator><description>

@Hvg86: Expect a Firefox 3 review with mods info over the weekend!

@Rahul: Muchas gracias!

@Rohan: Well you don&amp;#39;t need USB drives either. If you can browse the net, download files and unzip them... you are good to go!&lt;img src="http://blogs.livemint.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=1019" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
