Hi Tom,
This is by design, what you actually get on the start menu is a combination
of the two (all users and user) as you are the only user its all a little
superfluous.

Some programs do not give you the option to install for all users and will
therefore place the shortcut in the user\start menu, others assume for all
users and fewer ask you to decide.

Hope that's clear and helpful.
Martin
