Make a splash screen only to click on to start. And hide the mainstack 
in the data folder with all the other stuff. The splash screen should 
not do more than start and work "as you say" as an anchor for the real 
stacks in the data folder.  If you dont know how to do I cant help you 
more but I know who can help you with that problem, because he showed 
me once how to do that: Klaus Major!! I would drop him a line offlist...
Dont know if that helps...
