what Microsoft uses for the Win10 start menu, then what the heck are these
ancillary locations for?
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
C:\Users\.\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\
C:\Users\.\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\

They hold the physical shortcuts to the programs listed on the
start/programs menu. There are at least two - one for all users another for
each user. Save them and you can replace them if need be. They have
nothing to do with the rest of the physical start menu.

They contain EVERYTHING in my start menu. A program is either installed for all users, or just for me. It therefore goes in one of those two locations above (not three, the third is just a subfolder of the second).
