The above works for a single folder but yes, I don't think making subfolders works.
Microsoft wants to extract all links to the main menu, or at least the 'all programs' 
list.  Been doing that since, well forever.   It groups your personal menu and the system 
menu too.  So you're dead trying to get subs.

If that's what you want, yep, you need a third party program.
