    Hi,
    I saw a tutorial showing how to create a Game Link with Art, and everything on Windows 7. Link: Games Explorer Folder - Add Games To

    And i was thinking, for us to make registry files, for each game.
    For example: Fallout3.reg

    And if i am going to do this, of course i will need your help.
    So lets start making those.

    The .reg must contain Box Art, and everything from release date to title.
    They must be together in a .rar file:
    - A picture from the art box.
    - Registry file


    I made Fallout 3 example

    What must users do?
    -Download the file, unrar it and double-click the registry file and accept.
    -Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\GameExplorer\GamesBoxArt (OBS: Change Username to yours)
    and edit the file you will have ( Example: Fallout 2 cover ) and overwrite with the fallout 3 one.

    List of Games:
    Fallout 3:

    Forget this, it is not going to work.

    People use different directories on games, so yeah

    great idea AlexRD i though the same way long ago... but the fact that every user have different key values make me thinking it twice... still i think it can work, just give me some time.
