2 More Newbie Questions

Hello people - another newbie here with 2 questions. First off I suppose I should let everyone know that while I do consider myself to be an advanced user (sort of) I am new to Symenu. I have been extensively reading posts here and studying the FAQ's and SyMenu user manual for 2 days now and am not finding what I'm looking for. I'm pretty sure it's there somewhere and I'm just not finding it or not fully understanding what it is that I'm reading. More than likely it's both. Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction.
Questions are as follows:
My first question: is there any other way of exiting from SyMenu other than by scrolling all the way to the bottom of the list of all the apps that I added? I added over 700 apps and it takes forever to scroll all the way down to the bottom.
The ability to be able to exit SyMenu via the context menu from my mouse would be a nice feature to consider. Just a thought.
FYI, I'm running SyMenu off a 256GB Sandisk USB stick that's plugged into one of my powered USB hubs. I do not have SyMenu installed anywhere on my host pc. I should also mention here that I chose the "advanced" option when I installed SyMenu. Perhaps my ego got ahead of me.
My second question: Is there any way to isolate my native apps from the SyMenu app that I'm running from the usb stick? I'm already using tons and tons of native apps and services. I'm pretty sure that's why Symenu becomes unresponsive as often as is happening to me. It's never crashed on me but it often becomes unresponsive and sometimes stays unresponsive for quite some time.
Any input will be greatly appreciated..... Thanks people..

Thank you my friend, I'll do that as soon as I get it figured out. At present I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the info I'm reading and my brain hurts. Data overload?
To answer your question as to how I installed, I simply created a folder on a newly formatted (full format) usb stick and unzipped SyMenu inside that folder. Don't remember if SyMenu created a new folder for itself during install but if it did then I simply opened the folder that I created in a new window, made the window smaller and then simply dragged the SyMenu folder onto the main drive then simply deleted my old empty folder.

Unlinked Programs

I have over 25 unlinked programs in SyMenu that I'd like to repair. Is there an "easy" way to do this?..........
Think "SyMenu For Dummies"..... I have no programming experience.

Hello everybody.
Finally we have a new SyMenu version.
With this version I introduced a lot of new features and fixes and this is the complete list:
- Dynamic desktop shortcut
- New command line argument -quit to close a previously running SyMenu instance
- New command line argument -run to launch a SyProgram. SyMenu starts itself, launches the program and quits. It's a feature tied to the Dynamic desktop shortcut
- SyMenu can be run at Windows startup even in elevated mode
- Option to hide the Windows hidden files on search results or during the file system navigation
- Fix - Execution counter removes the items that are no more available among user items
- Fix - It's possible to save an item position even when it's moved to the last available place
- Fix - The floating icon doesn't freeze anymore when a modal form is opened
- Fix - When the label is the longer element in context menu, its text isn't cut anymore
- Fix - If an installed program doesn't have its own icon, it uses the SPS one
- SPS Manager - Restyle for the main form and the download form
- SPS Manager - Form minimizable
- SPS Manager - Button to copy the installation process details to the clipboard
- SPS Manager - Items added and no more supported, are flagged as "discontinued"
- SPS Manager - The radio buttons for filters, automatically run the search
- SPS Manager - Added a new radio button filter for available and not yet installed programs
- SPS Manager - A freshly installed program that has no icon, takes the SPS icon instead
- SPS Manager - Now the slider for the definition check interval works from 1 day to 30 days. A step beyond 30 days, disables the checking
- SPS Manager - It shows the item status color even during the definitions update at the first access
- SPS Manager - Improved speed during the update.
Two words on the first one, the desktop shortcuts entry, which is the main feature for this release.
You can flag any SyProgram to shorcutify it. When SyMenu runs, it creates on your desktop, one shortcut for each shorcutify item.
When SyMenu closes it removes all the previously created shorcuts from your desktop.
If SyMenu crashes, it's able to clean up your desktop at the next launch/quit cycle.
You can have more than one SyMenu version at the same time and every version will manage its own shorcuts... unless... you previously copied the configuration from a SyMenu version to another. In this case all your SyMenu have the same identifing code and the shortcut will be messed up... well I will explain it better just in case anyone has this problem... I hope there will be no need for this.
Here you can find the new beta version program and the notes for translations.
