On a Windows machine, I think Unikey is the way to go. You don't need to install it, it's a stand alone exe, so no need to have admin privileges. It's a great system-wide IME for VIQR (and other Vietnamese keyboard input methods). I believe there is a way to toggle to English dialogue boxes. On top of this, you could use it as a text expander.
