List most recently played games not working?

I've recently installed Vista and was playing around with the Games Explorer.
I'm not sure exactly how "List most recently played games" works. Downloading
information is obvious, but this setting doesn't seem to make a difference
for me. It doesn't seem to do anything. Icons are always in the same order
and nothing changes. I assume "Delete history" has something to do with this,
but what exactly does it do. It sounds like a convenient feature, but how do
I get it to work? Or what does it do?

It only works with games that are "Games for Windows" or have been added to
the compatible list like Halo, Half Life 2 etc. Most older games don't show
up. Try unchecking "Auto Arrange"
