Removing from menu, without deleting files.

I have installed Spybot S&D into my menu by adding it into the PortableApps folder. However, this program is composed of more than one executable, including an uninstall file.

I could delete these, but they are crucial to the program.

Is it possible to remove them from the menu without deleting them? I just want the main app on the menu, which can open all the other .exe's through its GUI.

Thanks for your help (if you *can* help)

No/Maybe

Short answer is no.
The Menu picks up every exe in a folder inside the PortableApps folder. You could put all the files in a folder and write a launcher that just launches the exe. Or did you search the forums? There are several threads about Spybot S&D already.

Or you could use a mod floating around here with the ability to hide exes.I havent tried any so I cant help with that.

Thanks very much, for the very quick and helpful reply.

Would you be able to advise me on how to make a launcher? If not then never mind.

Thanks.

I can be as simple as a AutoHotkey Script

Run, SpyBotS&DFolder/Spybot.exe

Or as complicated as NSIS.

WOW

wow, thanks for that! will the auto hotkey script need many programs, etc, and will it become an exe file?

No you can complie into a

No you can complie into a standalone exe. you can use a portable package which is available on this site, or install it on your home machine.

I must warn (I'd probably get slapped if I didn't) that this doesn't make the application portable. It just luanches whatever exe you choose.
