option to expose/hide universal apps folder and create new folders please

I've used open-shell for a lotta years to great effect.  unfortunately it seems to be going unmaintained relative to windows 11.   fortunately for me, ive been a stardock fan/product user for just as long so i had few qualms about adding to my suite with start11.

a few things i've noticed missing here which id find very helpful to have added.

1) the ability to hide the universal apps folder (and the apps therein) from the all programs list independently of the Universal Applications quick access shortcuts.   While i like to have them available in the quick access flyout, i like to keep the all programs list to native x86 applications only. 

2) the ability to create a folder from within the start menu.  this ones huge.  one of the major drivers behind using a third party start menu is the ability to have folders and subfolders.   hundreds of applications across the range of ide's, to libraries, to gaming stuff, to virtual reality to security.. you get the idea.  its a legit hot mess without organizing.  zero idea what on earth microsoft is thinking these days.  between that and the inability to move the taskbar to other displays (which cant be solved in an unjanky way it appears) i almost almost put off 11 altogether. 

anyhow, with open-shell one could simply right click > create new folder, and organize their start menu from within the start menu.   with start11 it appears im stuck navigating to %programdata%\..\.. to do so which is not only cumbersome for me, but some users may not even know how to find the hidden %programdata% or %appdata% folders where the start menu list is maintained/curated. 

make my day stardock, make my day :P
