Allen Posts: 5 After testing SyMenu, here is my wishlist for enhancements: 1. Option for folders (containers) to display opened - to save mouse clicks opening folders for frequently used programs. A workaround is to add programs to the root menu without a container, but then organization is lost and there are no dividers. 2. Show USB drive letter in systray. I use portable programs on a hard drive as well as on USB drives so it is helpful to see which is open. 3. Make the Configuration window resizable to avoid constant scrolling when organizing and moving SyItems. Auto-sorting would be nice. 4. Check if SyItems have changed or are missing. Portable programs can be frequently updated but there is nothing to alert you in SyMenu until you try to execute the program. 5. Auto-close the auto execute programs on Symenu exit. A workaround is to use the EjectUSB program to exit SyMenu. 6. Automatic back up of settings. I manually back up the XML files, but still have a problem with file corruption. These are just my personal suggestions based on how I use SyMenu and they may not be useful to others. For example, I never use search since I organize my 100+ programs so I can find them quickly. My favorite feature of SyMenu is the Extension Manager. I have installed programs just so I don't have to use the default Window programs. Now I just use the portable versions and set up Extension Manager to override the defaults. Allen
