Try something like this as a good starting point.
Put the names and pathes in the strings of the method StringSplit.
The GUI buttons are automatically placed in a new line if the button reaches the GUI width end.
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
main()
Func main()
Local $gui_width = #DesktopWidth -100, $gui_height = #DesktopHeight - 80
Local $Form1 = GUICreate("MainMenu", $gui_width, $gui_height, 50, 10)
Local $exesName_A = StringSplit('a.exe,b.exe,c.exe,d.exe,e.exe,f.exe,g.exe,h.exe,i.exe,j.exe,k.exe,l.exe,m.exe,n.exe,o.exe,a.exe,b.exe,c.exe,d.exe,e.exe,f.exe,g.exe,h.exe,i.exe,j.exe,k.exe,l.exe,m.exe,n.exe,o.exe', ',', 2)
Local $exesPath_A = StringSplit('a.exe,b.exe,c.exe,d.exe,e.exe,f.exe,g.exe,h.exe,i.exe,j.exe,k.exe,l.exe,m.exe,n.exe,o.exe,a.exe,b.exe,c.exe,d.exe,e.exe,f.exe,g.exe,h.exe,i.exe,j.exe,k.exe,l.exe,m.exe,n.exe,o.exe', ',', 2)
Local $height = 45, $width = 125, $y = 0, $x = 0
Local $button_A[UBound($exesName_A)]
For $i = 0 To UBound($exesName_A) - 1
If ((8 + ($x + 1) * $width) > $gui_width) Then
$y += 1
$x = 0
EndIf
$button_A[$i] = GUICtrlCreateButton($exesName_A[$i], 8 + $x * $width, 10 + $y * $height, 75, $height)
GUICtrlSetImage(-1, "shell32.dll", 22+ $i)
$x += 1
Next
GUISetState(#SW_SHOW)
While 1
$nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
Switch $nMsg
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
Exit
EndSwitch
; scan all buttons to check if one was pressed
For $i = 0 To UBound($button_A) - 1
If $nMsg = $button_A[$i] Then
ConsoleWrite('Now run the exe' & $exesPath_A[$i] & #CRLF)
;~ ShellExecute($exesPath_A[$i], '') ; uncomment this to run the exe
EndIf
Next
WEnd
EndFunc ;==>main
