- Show an warning message if an option would break the portability mode of HippoEDIT -

Hi Alex,
perhaps you want to show an dialog to warn users
if they want to use an HE option
which will break the portable mode,
f.ex.  "Tools > File Associations..."

If an user will use HE on an other pc
and he use this "File Associations..." feature
he will leave an track on that other pc
and the user of this other pc will be confused about this options,
     which are useless without having HE on that pc. (which is an glitch on it own, of course :-)


I mean something like :
"Attention: you run HE from an removable drive.
This option you wanna enable use an absolute path which will not fit next time..."


Or maybe this dialog should be disabled at all,
if accessed while HE run from removable drive...  don't know, what think others?

EDIT: found an example of implementation of this feature, see pic below...
