Problem with GameExplorer

I've got a problem with GameExplorer. When I installed Windows Vista Ultimate
it worked fine. But now if I try to load a game it says that "the file is not
associated with a program for the esecution of the operation. create an
association in the control panel" (that's a my traslation from italian). The
tilte of the error window is
C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplore\{different
codes for each game I try to load}.
I tried also to uninstall Windows Vista games and to reinstall
them...nothing's changed. And I tried to put the .exe of the games directly
to GameExplorer...it doesn't work too!
What's wrong? How can I solve? Thanks!

Re: Problem with GameExplorer

If you have used a tweak or registry hack to remove those shortcut arrows on
your desktop icons, it will have also affected those shortcut links in the
Games Explorer.
