Game Explorer

Posted by admin on Feb 24th, 2007

I have been trying to figure out the game explorer and how it works. So far I've installed about eight games, and not all of them have been recognized. I installed Command and Conquer Generals and Zero Hour, which were not, and Command and Conquer Tiberian Sun, which was. It lists the publisher, releash date, and websites. It even lists it under the Strategy genre and has a good resolution icon for it.I know Vista automatically looks up the info for the games, but it surprises me that it can find info for an eight year old game and not for one that is more recent. I thought the trouble might be how the game was spelled using & and : but aside from creating several shortcuts to the game using all the different possibilities I dont know how to enter the info myself. I checked the properties for the link in the games explorer as well as the desktop icon but no luck.I like the games explorer, but being able to customize it more like adding subfolders or changing the game info would be great. Is there something I'm missing, or is this feature of Vista just lacking?Games the explorer recognizes: Medieval 2 Total War Supreme Commander LoTR Online City of HeroesGames it doesnt recognize: biohazard 4 Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries Command and Conquer 3 Demo
