Games Explorer/Cover Art Question

I really like the Games Explorer in Vista but while some games like The
Matrix Online and The Sims 2 show up complete with cover art others like The
Movies and Football Manager 2007 do not. I know you can drag or copy to the
exe file to Games Explorer but it does not show the cover art.

When adding albums into Windows Media player any missing/incorrect cover art
you can manually add the missing art, can you do the same or is there a
workaround when adding games to Games Explorer that lack the cover art?

Cheers,

Yeah it would be cool, I would like to know where it gets the cover art from
in the first place, even games like FFXI which is not fully compat show
