That's a bit presumptive, that windows is installed to the default
directory. Better to ask the Registry where the current version of
Windows is installed to - it might even be able to tell you where the
Start Menu is.

Try:


"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Programs"


"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Start Menu"

and

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Startup"

seem to be the most useful.
