 Replying to [comment:6 briang1]:
 > I'm also wondering about the safety of this current idea if its being
 used on someone elses computer, is there any danger of importing something
 nasty from the portable installation?
 Yes. However, if you're installing something, you've obviously been given
 administrator access.

 >  If we can explain the effect of a user specific settings import, then
 why not the  autostart as well?
 It's not to do with explaining effect. It's to do with keeping user
 specific stuff out of the installer, especially when it'll probably be
 wanted by other users later (which makes the Welcome dialog ideal). In
 this case, though, this has to be done in the installer, as the portable
 settings obviously won't be relevant any more once the installed copy
 starts.
