Please remove the uninstaller and web site shortcuts from the Start Menu.

Best practices for Windows applications mean you only put shortcuts to programs in the Start Menu. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Start-menu-overview for reinforcement, but it's been this way since at least 1995 (Windows 95). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511447.aspx#files says: "Don't put shortcuts to the following items on the Start menu:" and mentions "program uninstallers", "web sites, and "help files" among some others.

Quick sampling of my current applications shows many strong examples where Start Menu is uncluttered, including Openoffice.org, [[MySql]], Mozilla Firefox, Pidgin, Wireshark, and others.
