All the files and folders that contain all the portable apps data are sitting on my thumb drive and its cluttering up my '\'
I want to either hide these files or put them into a folder but i don't know how i can do this.. does anyone have ideas?

the autorun.ini can be pitched completely (unless you want to retain the drive icon)
the startportableapps.exe the data folder and the portableapps program folder can all be moved as a unit with the normal file managers (of course you will need to have all the apps shutdown)
of course if you have other files you could just align them to the PA folder setup
It's only 2 files and 2 folders (unless you accidentally installed it wrong). The Documents folder can contain all your folders as well, which you need to get at easily, so you probably don't want to hide that. StartPortableApps.exe is used to launch it, so your probably don't want to hide that. autorun.inf gives it the icon and name (which you can change) and allows it to appear in the autoplay menu on earlier Windows versions (not Win7, though). You can delete that if you don't care. Or set it to hidden. The PortableApps folder can be set as hidden as well.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
