Adding a "Rating" to home-made games...

I'm wondering if it is possible to add a Minimum system rating, a Recommended rating and the Users computer's rating to home made games. Any help would be great. (Please tell me if this is the wrong forum ^_^ )

Microsoft pulls its information from AllGame.com, so doing a quick search of this site will get you the developer, publisher, and box art for your game and hopefully match their data in the future.

for games without the above info (self-created) try the editing tool:

You can try this to edit it:
vge.editor - Â Vista Game Explorer Editor

Thank-you, but VGEE doesn't have a thing to edit ratings...I looked in regedit, but found nothing useful...

You can change rating with this (VGE):

You can change Game Titles, Publishers, Developers, Product Version (Or Clip this value from an EXE), Release Date, Genre, Performance Rating, Content Rating, and Content Descriptors.

I think the rating changer is only in version 2.15 because it's not in the version I have. Also version 2.15 doesn't work for me... These are the Error Details...

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
