I use Open Shell, Open Shell - Classic Shell Reborn, to make the Start Menu look 'normal'. Question: Can something be done so that the programs that appear when Apps is moused over appear in a folder under Programs?

Can you elaborate, I don't quite get what you're after?

Wow. When I go to that site both Defender and Malwarebytes start screaming STOP. Anyway, regarding your question, AFIK Open Shell can still use the old Windows 7 look if the user sets their Open Shell settings that way.
I used Classic Shell back in the Win8 days and Open Shell says it can make the start menu look like Win7 just as Classic Shell did..

I thought the OP wanted Apps in a folder! Beats me, but, I'm sure I've seen it done in OpenShell, as in SAB...

I did some image hacking to show approximately what I want. Note that I made the new folder color different for ease of seeing it.

Example with just one Store app shortcut:


See 'Store Apps' under 'Programs' containing Print 3D.

a. create new folder on Desktop. E.g. name it Store apps.
b. drag all shortcuts from Apps as shown by Open shell to Store apps.
c. Drag an drop Store apps onto Programs.

However
Any changes you subsequently make to the Store apps on your PC will not be made in Store apps.

I.e. not recommmended.
