| | Two questions: setting up games explorer, and sidebar icons. Besides the Vista games, the games explorer only shows a few of the games I have installed. I did what the help file said and dragged the game executable into the explorer to add it, but now I’m stuck with an ugly red question mark for an icon, and a funny name for the game as it takes the name of the .exe. How do I change these settings? See the image for what I mean. http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/3...tagamesbf0.jpg My second question is, how do I add icons to the Sidebar? I see in the Vista product guide they have icons on the sidebar which, I’m assuming, launch the programs those icons represent. If you look at page 52 of the .doc guide (not the .xps), you see the sidebar has what appears to be icons for Notepad, Solitaire, WordPad, and something else. How do I add icons like this to the sidebar? I’d love to put my commonly used programs, games and files there so I don’t have to keep a desktop loaded with icons. I used Stardock’s ObjectDock with XP, and it seems to work fine with Vista, but I’d like to use the sidebar if I can. -- Posted at author's request, using fully moderated http://www.WinForumz.com/Setup-Insta...-forum-21.html interface |
