Windows 7 Start Menu Dividers

The only divider possible is the one that splits the lower dynamic program listing from the upper items pinned to the start menu.

Right click one of the top apps you highlighted, select 'Pin to Start Menu' and it will be automatically placed above a divider line.

The only way to regain the control over the Start menu which was available in previous versions of Windows before 7, is to use an alternative third-party product. Most of them can either replace or run side-by-side with the original Windows one.
