It is in the registry.

The key is [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace]

There you will need to place a CLSID key that is also in [HKCR\CLSID]. Here's my reg file for the User Installed Software folder.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}]
@="User Installed Software"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}\DefaultIcon]
@="shell32.dll,110"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}\DefaultIcon\InProcServer32]
@="shell32.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Apartment"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}\Shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}\Shell\Open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}\Shell\Open\Command]
@="explorer /root,C:\\Program Files\\User Installed Software\\"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}\ShellEx]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}\ShellEx\PropertySheetHandlers]
@="{e33898de-6302-4756-8f0c-5f6c5218e02e}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{801eb159-9ede-4dcb-919f-b55376cd4ceb}\ShellFolder]
"Attributes"=dword:0000003c

You can change this line

@="explorer /root,C:\\Program Files\\User Installed Software\\"

to point to any program that you want to.
