Don't worry about it, it's normal. It's all guess work.

It takes the words from the A/R entry and looks on Start for matching words in the entries there. The entry with the most words matching is considered a match. This gives you frequency and icon. It repeats the process for Program Files folder to get size.

Despite the fact it is often wrong corporate customers demand this wrong infomation.

It is probably matching to Microsoft's Office folder in Program Files.

Note:Setup programs can advise Windows of what icon to use, the folder to match or show a specified size.
