alright i have a program that brings up three different programs in the menu, example SciTE when i added it to the portable apps, it added SciTE, appstop, and two others, and i only want one the SciTE, so i tried to make an exe that would launch the SciTE, making my exe the only one to show up, it is a visual basic program, i named added icon tried everything i got it to work outside of the portable apps menu but when i looked into the portable apps menu it had a blank exe that had no icon or name, that was my exe that i made, is there any way to make an exe that would show up like any of the other portable apps, or be able to remove the exes, from the portable apps menu without exactly deleting them

You're kind of rambling, so I really am not sure what exactly you are saying. Try SmithTech's App Launcher. And you cannot hide .exe's at the present time, but there is a C++ version that fixes the problem by making it so that exes only show up when they are in a folder that has the same name (e.g. VLCPortable.exe will only show up in USB\PortableApps\VLCPortable).

sorry for rambling i am not quite sure how to explain my problem. I will try the app launcher. i tried the app launcher 2 problems on the name is app launcher, and that when i click on it it doesn't launch the program it brings up the menu.
App Launcher was designed to be run from an autorun.inf file.
To have App Launcher run your chosen apps without showing the menu use the -a argument.

It sounds like you just need to change some information in the exe itself. Reshacker or XNResourceEditor should be able to help with this.
