Click to expand...

One is for 'All Users' (the one in the Program Data folder), and the other is just for a specific user.

If you right-click on Start and click Explore, you'll get the user's Start Menu folder. If you click 'Explore All Users', you'll get the folder for all users. These two lists are combined into one single Start Menu.
