Game Explorer Corrupted (?)

When I click any game icon in my Games Explorer -- Vista game of retail game
I installed -- I get this error:

"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Create an association in the folders options control panel."

When I fine the exe files in the AppData folder for (for example) Hold 'Em,
the exe file opens the game right up. However, the shortcuts in Games
Explrer are all broken.

Thoughts?
