nothing to do with the rest of the physical start menu.

If that's the case, then am I correct to assume you mean they hold the
shortcust for only the left side of the Windows 10 start menu, which is an
alphabetical listing of installed programs?

If so, thanks for explaining that half the Win10 start menu (the right half
only) is held in the "Database" hive at:
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\TileDataLayer\ in the "Database" directory

While the other half (the left half) of the Win10 Start Menu are those two
other directories:
Global: %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
User: %AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

If that's correct, I'm going to add that to the strategy log that I'm
writing.

Thanks for that clarification.
