Description of your problem

Currently Spyder creates and use Configuration Folder is resides in the User Home Folder.
The user home folder is usually a path defined by an environment variable.

The problem is sometimes a Portable operation mode is needed.
Portable Operation Mode means no data is saved outside the installation folder of Spyder (Including registry keys for that matter).

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run Spyder (Folder is created at first run).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I'd like to be able to set Spyder to portable mode where it creates and uses a configuration folder within its installation folder.

Thank You.
