There are several application associated files that show up in the main menu. I would like to hide them so that only the applications I use show up. However, when I unplug my flash drive, these settings are lost and all of the items I previously hid our now unhidden again. Is there a way to make this setting stay beyond the current use?

I found a bug in the way the properties page handles hiding icons, but not in the way you describe. If you can post steps to reproduce with a clean install, that would help.

Is the application you are having trouble with a "Linked Application" (one not in the normal PortableApps path?) I've found a bug in the way categories and hidden applications work with linked apps, that will be corrected in 1.3.9.13

I was having an issue where a blank shortcut would appear in the main programs section. If I clicked on it, it would open an Explorer window to the USB root dir. Over time, more and more shortcuts would show up, until it pushed all the app categories off the bottom of the window. I took your advice to do a clean install of geek.menu. It worked like a charm. I haven't had any of these issues since.
Before the clean install, I could hide an app listing, and it would go away. But, if I refreshed geek.menu or closed/reopened, the hidden app would show back up. I attempted to use the Accelerate Menu by loading apps from file option, but that didn't help. Only the re-install did the trick.

Okay, I'm glad that worked for you. One thing I've pretty much given up on at this point is getting an upgrade of geek.menu to work properly. I'll make note of this in the final release notes, but I've made too many changes over too long of a time to build the upgrade utility I thought of including at one time.
However, your issue did lead me to find a few bugs, so I'm glad you reported it, and it's even possible that beta 3 (freshly uploaded) would have taken care of your issue- it did deal with some similar issues, including one that created that annoying blank shortcut at the top. If you're feeling bored and happen to have a backup that you could restore to a folder, feel free to give it a shot and let me know.

I'm having the same problem. Any listing in the menu I hide isn't persistent; once hidden, they come back upon refresh/close-reopen, etc.
Oh, I forgot to add, this is with v1.3.9.11
I can't replicate this at a quick try. Can you post your geekmenu.ini file to this forum?
