Accessing of AutoHotkey Dash is confusing a little bit

When a user of V1 installs V2, such user is presented with the new AutoHotkey Dash feature. But later on when such user goes to the Start Menu of Windows then there is no "AutoHotkey Dash" - just the "AutoHotkey" [which is it]. Also there is no single file on the whole operating system that is named "AutoHotkey Dash" or "dash.exe". I myself had to revert to reading Help in order to find this new Dash thing, learning that it is available also at C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\UX\ui-dash.ahk

And also: why is the AutoHotkey Dash not present in the right click menu available for AHK scripts in the Tray area?

So is there a more obvious / convenient way to access this AutoHotkey Dash in the latest version 2.0.3 - or is the goal to keep it hidden from newcomers?

The 'Start Menu' item has been renamed to 'AutoHotkey Dash' in version 2.0.3 for clarity.

Cheers
