Portable Application Menu for Flash Drives – SharpDevelop VB.NET – Source Code

I wanted a very simple Non Bloated Portable Apps Menu which as I found out it is not as easy to find as one would expect, All the free menu’s out there were just way over the top and also totally consume your flash drive. So here I have written a nasty, rough as guts menu download the Flash Drive Menu Source Code don’t expect quality coding though it ain’t going to happen.

To use this menu compile it using SharpDevelop (that’s what I used to write it in), to add application’s to the menu just click the “Add App” button and place the portable application in a folder that is named EXACTLY the same name as the portable app, e.g “notepad.exe” goes in a folder called “notepad”
