[python-win32] Seemingly incomplete installation

After downloading and installing pywin32-227.win-amd64-py3.8.exe I can access the libraries, but there don't seem to be any links from the start menu to any of the tools or documentation.  The installation log just shows a lot of files being copied to C:\Program Files\Python38\Lib\site-packages, including at least some of the tools (e.g., regedit.py).

Reinstallation made no difference.

Are my expectations incorrect?  What can I do?

Environment: VM running Win 10 Enterprise, just upgraded to 1809. Then I installed python-3.8.2-amd64.exe, and then pywin32.  Windows, Python, Office 2016 all 64 bit.  I elected customized installations of python and pywin32 and elevated privileges to install for all users.
