How Can I Make This Program A Portable App?

I don't know where to post this so I will put it here. If any moderators know of a better place, please move it.

I have SoftMaker 2008. The entire program can be copied to a thumb drive. I have done this and it works great. But, I have to go to the drive lettr itself to click on the program to get it started.

Is there any way to get a startup link on the main screen of Portable apps? Or is there any way to just MAKE it a portable app?

This program starts up so much faster than LibreOffice that it is unbelievable. All of my files work flawlessly in Softmaker 2008, and it is a fraction of the size of OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Yes, I know there are probably things that the big programs can do that this one can't, but I like it.

So I ask again: Is there any way to put a link on the main screen of Portable Apps or just make it a portable app unto itself so I don't have to go looking in Windows Explorer to get one of its applications open? I am not a programmer so a simple answer would be appreciated.

I would also like to do a portable app of AudioGrabber as it can also be just copied to the thumb drive.

Any help would be appreciated.

If you just want a link in the PortableApps Platform...

The PortableApps Platform will automatically display .exe files if they are in the proper directory level.
Follow these guidelines:

I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you.
