\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\1-Calc Lite.lnk
via OrganizeStartMenu_OEM.RAR
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories\1-Calc Lite.lnk

The two methods I can think of to alleviate this are to:
a) use initflashes.txt to MOVE the item as opposed to copying an additional item
b) use initflahses.txt to DELETE (which you have stated is not currently supported)

Sorry to be so repetitive ... can initflashes.txt be used to MOVE an item?

I guess the other option is to start a project to rework the PPCGeeks_OEM.RAR so that all of the initflashes.txt files direct the shortcut links to alternate locations.

You mentioned that you could think of two alternate solutions. Am I close?

This is one of the ones on my list... There is a tutorial already done, but I'll provide an OEM and a modified initflashfiles.dat to replace the one in the kitchens archive. Basically I'm going to take all the start menu contents out of the initflashfiles.dat file and move them to an OEM's initflashfiles.txt and reorder them. The same should work for all the 20xxx roms, but I'll double check that as well. It will be up to you to comment out the startmenu contents out of the oem's you use and copy it to the new initflashfiles.dat...
