How do I put a folder in the start menu?

I have a new PC with Windows 7 and want to consolidate the start menu. I want to put all the shortcuts for Windows programs in one folder.

As the administrator, I have not found a way to add a new folder to the Left pain of the start menu.

An option that I can do is add the shortcuts to an existing start menu folder that I don't use. Then, I thought, I could rename the folder. But I haven't been able to rename a start menu folder. I am the administrator, and in fact the dialogue window prompts that it requires administrative permission, then asks if I want to continue. I click "continue", but the task isn't executed, and the name I enter doesn't replace the original.

Is there a solution?

Thanks
Rick
