The middle part is taken from the apps folder name under Application Shortcuts.

The target of the shortcut begins with explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\ all the time and ends with !App.

Right-click there and select New > Shortcut from the context menu.

Open the folder C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ in File Explorer and make sure the new apps folder that you have created is also open.

We are creating a new folder under All Apps in the second part of this tutorial and add shortcuts to apps that we want to run on the system in there. When you log off and on again or restart the explorer.exe process, you will notice that those apps shortcuts are no longer listed under All Apps.

Move all applications that you don't want to see in the start menu's all apps listings root into that folder.

Create a new folder in there and call it apps.

The folder lists all installed applications.

To display that folder in File Explorer make sure you enable the display of hidden files and folders with a click on View > Hidden Items.

You find all application shortcuts listed under C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Application Shortcuts/.

The start menu itself does not offer any options but there is a manual workaround. To make matters worse, it is also not possible to move those apps in a folder to make room for desktop programs. While you can still move application shortcuts around, it seems no longer possible to remove native ones from the start menu.

Update: It appears that Microsoft has blocked the tweak in the final build of Windows 10. While it is possible to uninstall third-party apps to remove them from the start menu, it is not possible to do the same for native applications such as the Camera, Calendar or Calculator application. Here you find listed all installed apps and desktop programs. What you may have noticed as well is that you cannot move or remove apps when you open the all apps listing.

While not identical to the Windows 7 start menu, it is a compromise that brings the old (desktop programs) and the new (apps and live tiles) together.
