Windows Vista?

Vista standards are that game icons should appear only in the Games folder

[Cruis.In]

yes vista, but funny, other games install desktop shortcuts.

Why exactly are you using GFWL?

From what I have seen it has been nothing but trouble.

[jaycw2309]

Not my place to comment on that am afraid. Development decision made..

You can right-click and drag the shortcut from the games folder onto the desktop (then click on "copy here"... thats what I do

Or you can select Pin to Start Menu when right clicking on the icon in the Games Menu.

AHA!! So thats what that does... never clicked on that one... kinda nifty.. Thanks!
I actually prefer the desktop, but thats a cool feature! thanks for pointing it out!

I prefer to do what Lanarian does. Drag the shortcut from the games folder onto the desktop.

The Games Explorer shortcut can be customised. By right clicking you can go to the Launcher for example.
I add in links to other places like Save Games or the Manual too. Plus I like to change the icons and make my own ones too.

For example I made the top icon for my main BAA link. The bottom one is the original. :cool:

Interesting. Didn't know that.

Don't knock GFWL, i think it's good that microsoft are pushing pc gaming, having a multi billion dollar company on your side is no bad thing.

In win 7 i pin my most used programs to the task bar, it's nicer than the one in vista.
