Game Explorer as a Toolbar?


Hi there. I'm new around here, but It's been bothering me for sometime,
so I figured I would ask.
When ever I try to make a toolbar that would show my Games Explorer,
I'm unable too. I created a shortcut on my Desktop, but I doesn't show
up when I try to find a Toolbar target; Not am I able to locate it in
the All Programs folder on my HDD

Is there ANYWAY I can put my Games Explorer as a toolbar?

Re: Game Explorer as a Toolbar?

I dont know about Vista game explorer directly. BUT, if you want something that looks nice, and is free, try something called RocketDock (by Punk Labs, RocketDock.com), or Object Dock (Stardock Software, Stardock - Your Edge In Software)
The latter one has more features, and is the one that I use, but is not free. Whereas Rocket Dock is free but is rather simple and uses less memory.
Both are skinnable, and afaik both can have a shortcut from the Vista games explorer dragged onto them with the box art attached.

I hope that helps.

Grats dude, in my Vista Business at work Games Explorer is in All Programs >
Games, I dragged the icon to my quick-launch bar which I have nestled next
to the start orb/blue button thing. Stands out pretty nicely.
