portable apps

[GhostRayder]

Let's suppose just for the moment that I don't use anything to my knowledge that PMPC considers a "portable app" and don't want that empty folder cluttering up my nice tidy desktop.  Is there any preference I can set to tell PMPC, "Don't do that"?  I know I can presumably just tell it to put that Portable Apps folder somewhere I can't see it, and then ignore it, but I want it to not do that at all, not just hide it from me.
