Manually adding games to the "Games Control Panel"

Is there a way to manually add games to the game browser?

I was able to add Flight Simulator X by dragging it to the Games folder in
the Start Menu... F.E.A.R. seemed to add itself... but for whatever reason
FEAR Extraction Point didn't, and neither did DiRT and just copying their
start menu groups into the Games folder did not seem to help

Thanks

Re: Manually adding games to the "Games Control Panel"

The easiest way is to right-click, hold the button down and drag the icon
over to the game folder, note: use only the game icon, not the whole menu
group. It will work, the icon will end up ugly but it will work.

Hope that helps!
