I have many apps that live at c:\apps\portable\myapps\. Is there a way to force SyMenu to use that folder instead of the nested folder it creates?

I tried this, but instead of using the specified folder as the root, it creates the SPSSuite in the specified folder. I just want Symenu to treat my existing apps folder as the SPSSuite folder and use that location to add/remove programs.

You can't use your apps as SPS apps because SyMenu needs to find the right folder structure and names. If you succeeded in make it point your custom folder as the SPS folder you'll finish having all your custom apps trashed by SyMenu itself.
What happens inside the SPS folder is for SyMenu only.

Is it too much to support this feature? I mean many apps can add a user defined folder and use that. But I assume SyMenu requires the SPSSuite to be the Parent? What if you changed that? Is there really a need for that SPSSuite to be a Parent folder?

The point is not to have the SPSFolder as a parent but to have an exclusive folder where SyMenu can manage the SPS Apps.
To be clear, theoretically I can define D:\SPS as the home SPS folder. But what Frank asked for was to mix his own apps with the SPS apps in the same folder. And it's impossible.
The SPS home folder must be managed by SyMenu exclusively.
