Right-click on the Start Orb and left-click on Explore All Users. This will
give you the All Users Start Menu. Open up another explorer window (Computer
for instance) and navigate to Gspot's folder in Program Files. Find its
executable and right-click/drag to the Start Menu. Release the right mouse
button and choose "Create shortcut here".

Try doing that method into this directory:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\

Or just go ahead & create the shortcut on the desktop and then drag it
to the Start Menu...
