Two questions: setting up games explorer, and sidebar icons.

Posted: 09-17-2006, 05:25 AM
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.

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.
