I had two setups for SyMenu. One for my main daily most used apps, and a second installation for every other app I use, however rarely. It worked well for about three years or so. But recently, I found it becoming a chore to keep both up to date, backing each one up, managing two separate SyMenu's was a bit annoying.

I started this as I got fed up having all apps merged in one menu. As apps I rarely use, just got in the way when looking for an app I wanted.

Now I've gone back to basics, set up one menu and coded a Rainmeter skin using a shortcuts folder to launch apps. It's not quite finished yet, in fact, I'm adapting an older skin to look like SyMenu and work in a similar way. The difference however is that you don't have the R-click context menu that SyMenu offers and folders are not opened in the same way as in SyMenu, they open like in Windows Explorer. You enter into a folder and come back out of it using a back button.

Still, I thought I'd point to it here in case anyone is interested.
This is just a mock-up so far, no folders and looks will be changed.
