Games not showing up in Games folder | | One new thing in Vista is that it now places all your games in a Games folder. It also downloads the box art of each game and makes it the icon for the game. Sometimes it does not automatically place some games in the Games folder, though.
I am a fan of the Call of Duty series. I have Call of Duty, COD:United Offensive, and COD2. For some reason Vista did not see COD:UO (maybe because it is an expansion of COD) and did not put it into the Games folder. I had a thought and while having the Games folder open I dragged the COD:UO icon from the desktop into the folder and now it shows up in Games. However it does not download a box art icon for it so it uses the original icon. If I was creative enough I could probably scan the CD art (my box is long gone) and turn it into an icon and use it.
So if you have a game that does not show up in the Games folder just drag the icon into the folder.
