Running drivers off a computer?

The title may be a little grammatically confusing, but it's exactly what it means. Basically, instead of installing drivers in the computer and run it from there, can I install those same drivers on, say a flash drive and then plug it into another computer and make it work?

Here's the situation: My school's computers are relatively good mining machines, all having an ATI 68xx graphics cards. Also, I have a couple of ASICs that can be brought about (which I do sometimes, "borrowing" my friend's computer Tongue).

Now, these computers have one stupid thing called "restrictions" enabled. Basically, I cannot install programs or drivers, but I can run them. I cannot install GTA inside the computer, but if I have installed it on my flash drive, I can run it. So, I asked a question on another forum as to how I can run programs off a computer and the answer I got was http://portableapps.com/

Now, I am not exactly sure about drivers, since although they are programs, they work differently compared to executables. I am asking this because I also intend to "borrow" my school's computers to mine Grin.

NOTE: Windows only, although if anyone has something for Mac, feel free to talk about it (since I used to be in a school which had Macs).
