I am just starting out with the Arduino, and I want to develop and create sketches at my school. The only problem is that the school's computer doesn't allow any application to run if app tries to create a folder on its hard-drive. Are there any ways to make the standard IDE portable, or is there another portable option?
Way that you can get a Portable/Online Arduino IDE

The standard IDE is portable as it runs as a stand-alone Java application. As such it requires no "installation" so to speak, and projects exist. So if you have it on rewritable media (e.g. a USB flash drive) and you store your projects on that same media, you in effect have a portable IDE. It will (I'm pretty sure) however, keep all it's build artifacts in temporary folders under the current users HOME directory.
