  Exactly. That's what the ...\Start Menu\Programs folder (and its user-
specific counterpart [1]) is for. Anything you add there is reflected in
the native Start menu and in the Open-Shell Menu.

  As to "with various levels", the standard menu has already two levels.
No reason why you can't add any number of more levels.

  So you (Bill) should probably explain why you think the standard
Windows ...\Start Menu\Programs folders can not do what you want.
