Force firefox to use set profile (Firefox Portable)
I have recently rolled out Firefox 3.6 across our network running windows XP which automatically used the profile I have set. This is so changes to the proxy and about:config are locked out.
However users are still able to run Firefox Portable from their USB sticks and work areas. Are there any fixes out there that can either
[step="a"]Stop the running of firefox through portable apps (Have tried many different ways to stop this but to no avail)[/step]
[step="b"]Force the Firefox Portable to use the default profile (Located in "C:\Program Files\Firefox")[/step]
I do have a possible solution to this which requires a hidden app running which kills the portable app process but was after something more efficient.
Any ideas?

yeah it looks like the only way to stop it currently is to have that hidden process that checks to see what processes are running ever 10-15 seconds. Just hogs the memory a bit too much for my liking.

Article linked too had useful hints and tips but the main answer on there was the option that I was already doing.
