I've suspected all along that the "Logo + X" menu is coming from a folder of shortcut icons.
Now I've found the folder. It has all the items in that menu, and several more.
These are shortcuts ready to use. You can pin them to the Taskbar, Start screen, Desktop, Quick Launch, or anywhere.
The path is too long to see in the window, but it's
C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-explorer-shortcuts_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16384_none_1081915a9ab044a8
Several of these items are of interest:
The "01 Command Prompt" is the Admin kind -- the "02" is the regular.
The "Windows Explorer" is File Explorer, except that it opens in the "Computer" folder instead of the "Libraries."
This "Control Panel" icon goes directly to the alphabetical list of all Control Panel functions.
And this "Search" icon goes directly to the Metro-style Search screen!
