   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"
