Installed Games in Games Explorer

Not all my games are showing in the Games Explorer. Is there a way to add
them?

Hi Cindy,

If you mean the Game list on Vista's start menu, then open the Game window & just drag & drop or copy a Game shortcut into it.

Note: It will not remove it from where you draged & dropped it from.

Re: Installed Games in Games Explorer

I found out that under Control Panel | Progrmas & Features, there is an
option listed in the left bar to Turn Windows Features On or Off.

All my games were turned off -- all I had to do was to check them to turn
them on and have them display.

Oh, you meant the games Vista comes with. Yep, that's it.
