    Can I run programs from a USB on my work computer and not have it download to the computer...


    Basically my work has an admin/update password for downloaded software, updates or apps, etc.

    My question: is it possible to run programs from a usb on my work computer without it trying to download to the computer itself?

    I mainly want to remote over to my home Mac using Screens by Edovia.

    Sorry if this is a stupid question.. thanks for your time!!

      section.

    • Find the USB device.

    • Right click USB
      and select Uninstall.

    • Select the check box
      delete the driver software for this device
      .
    • Reboot the computer after uninstall process has finished.
    Step 2:

    Uninstall the Device Drivers from Program List in Control Panel


    • Click on start, select Control Panel

    • Now click on Programs and select Programs and Features.

    • Find the USB.

    • Right click USB driver

    Computer Not Working

    It's a laptop and it has a battery so I don't think that will work unless you want me ripping out the battery repeatedly
