    Alternative to the Windows Explorer Games folder?


    (the attached screenshot is the Windows Explorer Games section I mean)

    It's nice and it does the job, but is there a third party alternative? I guess I'd like some fullscreen thing that has the DVD case view like the Back Row theme for XBMC does (http://xbmc.org/wp-content/gallery/b...eenshot005.jpg) but for games, as the Microsoft one doesn't look too 'exciting'. Anyone know of anything that would suit my visual desire?
    (yes, I know I can remove the preview pane and increase the icon size, but it's still rather dull)
    (also, no, I don't want to just add all my non-Steam games to my Steam library as I find Steam sluggish and a pain)

    are there any nicer looking programs, eg with coverflow?
    The large icons suit your games, but they don't seem to suit mine :/

    thanks for the tip on how to add games to it though :)
