In the ointment, however, the Windows7 game manager only supports certain games (such as "Hearts") that Microsoft has developed itself.

Can we add any game we normally like to play to the game manager of Win 7? The answer is certainly yes. Next, the author to add a classic FPS game "counter-Strike" as an example, for you to introduce how to achieve.

Allow third party games to be displayed in Game manager

The Win7 game Manager can display those games by default because each game's details are saved to the registry. Therefore, we add a custom game "counter Strike" to this game manager, also by modifying the registry to achieve. But before we modify the table, we have to get the exact values of the three parameters of the SID, GUID, and filetime that are related to modifying the registry.

Enter commands to view the values

Tip: SID is the security identifier, which is the only number that identifies users, groups, and computer accounts. A GUID is a globally unique identifier that is produced by a specific algorithm with a length of 128-bit 16-digit integer.

FILETIME is the file time, which indicates that a given file was created, last accessed, or last written at a specific date and time.

Click start → run, and then enter PowerShell in the Run dialog box that pops up and press ENTER to run PowerShell, then enter the next three DOS commands in the window (press ENTER for each DOS command):

Whoami/user

[Guid]::newguid ()

[Datetime]::maxvalue.tofiletime ()
