How do I add a custom folder to the start menu?

You can add any existing folder to the start menu. Go to the Start Menu Settings dialog, open the Customize Start Menu tab and add a new custom item.

For Classic or Classic with two columns style: Add a custom item by dragging the "Custom" item from the right column to the left column in the location you wish. Now double click the Custom item in the left column to bring up the "Edit Menu Item" dialog. In the Link field of this dialog, specify the path for the folder and check the options you want (Don't expand, Multi-column etc)

For Windows 7 style: Add a custom item by right-click anywhere in the item list on Customize Start Menu tab, and then click "Insert New Item". Change the type of the new item to "Custom". Drag the icon up or down to position it wherever you want. After you created the new custom item, right-click on it and select "Edit Item". Pick a folder from the Link dropdown list, or click on the [...] button to select another folder. Change the label or the icon if you wish. Select "Don't Expand" if you wish the folder to not be expandable as a sub-menu.
