So you know the path to the folder. C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu.
Have you taken ownership of the folder and its contents?
If you find you can't move some of them (The system ones), you could always set their properties to "Hide". They won't show in the Start Menu then.

Yes, the shortcut folders are normal.

C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

Some of them might get "recreated" in the All Users. If that happens I copy them to the above folder and then hide the originals
