How do you organize Vista Start Menu

My OS is Windows Vista Ultimate.  In previoius version of Windows I've always been able to organize the start menus for my users.  I like to put common programs in folders.  I can't seem to find all the program links that are listed on my All Programs Menu any where on my drive. 

 

I tried to search for an answer on line and found one answer that said that My Username's start menu is in a seperate folder, which I found c:\Users\My Username\...\Start Menu.  They said the All Users start menu was in C:\ProgramData\...\All Users\Start Menu which I couldn't find.  I don't see a c:\ProgramData directory on my computer.

 

How does Vista's start menu work and where is the menu information/definition stored?  Please let me know how I can organize the start menu for my profile and any other users on my computer, including the common All Users start menu.

    Thank you for your response the answer you provided didn't give what I needed.  Somehow I made my c:\ProgramData directory visible and from there I was able to find my All Users Start Menu, where I added the folders I needed and organized the files in a much more compact and usable menu.

     

    Thank you again.  Problem solved.
