Access Program

Posted: 07-20-2003, 11:59 PM
Hello: I'm not very good at this so I need a bit of
help. I have been looking for my GAMES file that comes
with the windows program. I have found it by searching--
control panel, window components, accessories, details,
games. Now that I found out where it is, how do I access
it? I can see it there but there is no drag and drop or
any option to move it. It doesn't appear in my start
menu or under accessories so even though I have found out
where it is, it is not able to be accessed. Help.
Thanks a bunch!!
Lynn

Hi Lyn,

The games directory which you're looking for should be under
Start / All Programs / Games. If it's not there, reinstall the games
from that area you were looking at in Control panel. That's what
that list is for, it's not meant to be used to access the games, just
to install them. Here's the standard instructions I suggest:
--
To add/remove Windows XP Games: Click START / Control Panel /
Add or Remove Programs / Add Remove Windows Components /
Accessories and Utilities / [Details...] / Games / [Details...] / then check
(or uncheck and then recheck the games) / Click [OK] 3 times to finish.

Cheers,
Jimmy S.
