Sql Server Enterprise Manager context menu

sql server and iis both uses mmc so they both are grouped together in windows xp.  my question is why did ms designed the mmc such that the help menu is below the close context menu (which should have been the bottom menu as far as most windowed program standards is concerned).  before, when i was just starting as a developer, i often clicked that Help menu instead of the Close menu which is frustrating.

"Help" is not available to all the applets running in MMC. Applets cannot insert to context menu, it can only append, that explains the position of "Help" context menu's location.

i don't get it.  when you open mmc, the "help topics" menu is included just below "close".

Because the MMC Snapins have predefinde interfaces and behaviour.

Obviously you can see that Help menu was under Actions menu and not on Help menu and the contents of ContextMenu is the contents of Actions Menu.
