Where did my games go?

After upgrading to vista business edition, all my games in the games folder
seemed to have disappeared and left behind only a "games explorer". i opened
that up, and nothing's there. So uh guys, where the hell are my games?

Re: Where did my games go?

Go to Control Panel, Programs - under Programs and Features you will see
'Turn Windows features on or off'. There you can turn on the games which
aren't installed by default in Business Edition.
