Because its designed to. Seems correct as others said. Is there an MS
document that defines standard installs?

What I wanted to say, is that you can easily edit the start menus, doing a
bit of drag & drop with the W.Explorer. Menu entries are files - take a
look. Search for "Start Menu" directories.

  I think this is one place where MS beat Linux to the "everything is a
file" philosophy, but KDE and Gnome have caught up.
