That is because it is not a real folder it is a junction point for old software. The real place is:
C:\ProgramData

Are you running as a standard user? I have no problem opening or adding items.

Even using windows explorer as a Run As administrator denies access.

Here is the path I should

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

This may be worth placing in an FAQ

Open your start menu... right click on "All Programs"... select either Open or Open all users... should open right up.

The lead folder is blocked, not the sub folder under it.

Do you have GPO set to block access to this? Even a Domain Admin will be blocked if policy is set.
