Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The chances that some people who used toolbands on Windows 10 and earlier will have more than 1, this software only allows just one. Either allow the use of multiple instances (since the settings & log can be stored in the app's directory) or give us the ability to create extra icons with folders, so that they can be named aptly (tooltip), along with changing to the icon for the folder, we can change the icons to something we can recognize.

Describe the solution you'd like Either the option to add more than 1 root directory (give it a name instead of the current tooltip for the icon), give it an icon and be able to run it once and see as many icons as we have for folders.

GuruSR,

One of your requested alternatives for additional menus displayed by SystemTrayMenu appears to describe menus that cascade off the main menu, which can contain related items grouped in a folder with a custom icon and name. If I'm understanding your request correctly, that's already possible. As a matter of fact, SystemTrayMenu can literally create a menu system that replicates the basic start menu features from the Windows 7 era and older.

In the image below, the menu on the right is the main SystemTrayMenu, and the menu on the left is the cascading menu that pops out when I hover the mouse cursor over the menu item labeled "Sample Utilities Cascading Menu" at the top of the main menu. The gear icon for that menu item is a standard customization in Windows of a folder shortcut that carries over into SystemTrayMenu to display the icon you choose. So here's an example of how it can look with existing SystemTrayMenu and Windows capabilities...
