In Start Menu, don't add app shortcut to folder

Please do not add an application shortcut to a folder in the Start Menu by default, as this will result in more steps to be taken to launch the application. However, there is no benefit in this behavior.

Hi @rakleed, and thank you for your patience.

If you don't need the folder, then simply navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ProtonVPN, cut ProtonVPN, and paste it in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs, and delete the ProtonVPN folder. Your problem will be solved!

Thank you in advance!

I know about this solution, but doing it manually every time is inconvenient. Therefore, I would like the app to change the default installation path in the Start menu during installation.
