c:\Documents and Settings\Jigo\Start Menu\Programs

Better yet:

%USERPROFILE%\Start Menu

That "%USERPROFILE%" will expand to the settings-folder of the current
logged-in user. Even on installations where that folder isn't located on
the (default) C: drive. :-)

(also notice the absense of the "\Programs" part. The OP asked to put
something into the "start menu")

P.s.
OP, you can even create a new folder there (Like that "Programs" folder),
into which you can also put shortcuts of your liking.

P.p.s.
For other environment variables like that "%USERPROFILE% just open a
console/command window and type "set"

I can't find any way to copy an icon for a shortcut or application on
the
desktop (or the file list) to the Start menu. Does anyone know of one?

Thanks

Assuming you XP Login Name is "Jigo"

Your StartMenu is...

c:\Documents and Settings\Jigo\Start Menu\Programs

Just copy and Paste there.
