Not sure if its possible, just my 2cents
That is what has been suggested in previous posts.
And as I said before, there are practical issues with doing stuff like that. eg: where or what folder do you want to have, this might not be the same choice for another user. Regardless, the moment you move that folder to somewhere else then stuff will brake, etc etc... I need to experiment with some stuff to see if those can be solved in a decent manner. But then there are also the possible user right issues etc...
So there are many complications which makes something like that not very practical and/or working for everybody out-of-the-box (without manually altering stuff in the script itself or in the Start menu). I'm not going to put my time (at least not now in the coming weeks) in something which will only work half-arsed and for which alternatives exist, sorry.
(Note: Personally I find double clicking on Messenger's icon much faster and more intuitive anyways than Start > select folder or search > typing name etc
