Nothing annoys me more than when I go to the start menu looking to run a game and realise that I need to know who published it just to find the shortcut.

That's a bit annoying indeed, should simply go into a "games" folder instead.

In the case of other kinds of software and their install-on-disk location, some subfolders at least for program version is good, though; sometimes you need multiple versions of something installed.
