You could try %homedrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs or %homedrive%\Documents and Settings\*Your User Name*\Start Menu\Programs

You can try side click (normally set to right) and hit delete in the drop down. Then reopen the start menu if it doesn't immediately go away.

When i click delete in the right click menu it sais,

Accesories is a system folder and is necessary for windows to correctly function, this map can't be deleted

That's roughly translated from dutch
