Very well, full points for you on the technical aspect. I'd always thought reverse-engineering a closed source monolithic application was rather more difficult than "use a hex editor", but whatever.
I am not particularly bothered by the Start Menu at least on aesthetic grounds. What bothers me (as per your quote) is the lack of a standard for categorizing stuff; no diddling with explorer.exe will fix that. I might as well just manually create new folders and shortcuts anyway.
