Comment (by humdinger):

 Context menus are just too convenient to limit the apps listed there only
 to /boot.[[BR]]
 I'm not sure my suggestion with the submenus for what's on other drives is
 that great either. What about duplicates on the same drive, for example?
 Maybe this would work better:

 List all apps on the first level. In case of duplicates, have those with
 their path (maybe as tooltips) in that entry's submenu. If a user clicks
 the first level entry, it defaults to the app that's on /boot
