Hi Kordoff.
It's very simple:
- go to the configuration form
- add a new program
- in the Path field write %windir%\system32\control.exe
- in section Additional params, in the Program arguments field write /name Microsoft.ProgramsAndFeatures
Done!

BTW SyMenu already indexes the Control panel content so you can reach the snap-in searching for "Programs and Features".
You don't need to create the entry by yourself.

Perfect, thanks.
2nd one  How to add this
Name : AdministrativeTools
GUID : {D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524153} Or other GUID shortcuts
Module name : @%SystemRoot%\system32\shell32.dll,-22982

You shouldn't use the special .dll for any item you want to link in SyMenu because there is a simple shortcut that makes use of the control panel executable and the items canonical names.
I think you can find the canonical names for every item available in any Windows snap-in.
The procedure to create the logical element in SyMenu is the same as described above:
- Path:%SystemRoot%\system32\control.exe
- Program arguments: /name Microsoft.AdministrativeTools
For a complete list of Control Panel item canonical names, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/controlpanel-canonical-names
If instead you want to use the cryptic GUID names you can set your item this way:
- Path: %SystemRoot%\system32\explorer.exe
- Program arguments: shell:::{D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524153}
The GUID list is on the same page.
