You need it to be manual to organize things how YOU want, how can you let the computer decide for you what does what?
User mustn't be pampered. User must make the program or the machine adapt to his needs and not the opposite.
NEVER, the opposite.

look at that crazy frenchman running Win9x in 2019. But seriously, I liked win9x. Sure it was proprietary and often a piece of crap, but man it was the 90s and I was young and everything was better.
What does your workflow and what are the machine specs you run all this on look like user? Genuinely curious.

Yes. You need to do it manually, such as create the directories under "all programs" and then direct installers to create start menu shortcuts in the right directories (some won't allow this, then you need to move the shortcuts to the right place manually and then also manually remove them when the program is uninstalled).

Seconding , please tell more about the system (both hardware and software), maybe picture of the computer? Does it have a CRT monitor?

I don't hate you because you wrote this, I hate you because it is true.

Here are some things that would already make your shit better than 99% of the absolute shit out there:
-All actions should happen within a single frame (e.g 16.66ms for 60Hz, 8.33ms for 120Hz)
-No modal dialogs
-No retarded transitions that block the user from doing shit while making him watch that bullshit
-No hamburger menu
-No mobile-first
-Have fucking rectangles and shit like Windows 95. See
-Don't do subpixel rendering (waste of CPU and only works on certain monitors)
-Have hotkeys for everything
Basically do what Windows 95 does but without modal dialogs. Don't follow any of these retarded modern (((UX))) memes.

I really got hard nostalgia at those highly detailed icons and this makes me curious to know more how I can get this on my machine.
Late versions of Netscape were basically Mozilla 1.x and it seems to work with chanboards. And those fucking icons, my God it's cute, I hope this style could make a comeback.
The "ThinkPad" icon is a hint.

Listen to this guy. Modern UI design is retarded.
