How do I register older games in the Games Explorer

Just wondering if there is a way to register older games in Games Explorer.
I've installed them and dragged the icon to the explorer, so at least they
appear in the list but they show up as genre "unspecified".

I've heard that there are game descriptor files but I can't find anything
that sound like it. Can someone point me to some documentation?

"Windows Game Explorer for Game Developers"
The process of integrating games using this is a bit more complicated than
the drag-and-drop way.
