An Analysis of Windows Vista Game Explorer


By Martin Brinkmann

Windows has always come with stock games such as minesweeper and solitaire; however, if any game was added to the computer, it would then create its own separate folder in the Windows Start Menu. The Windows Vista Game Explorer has finally "fixed" this overabundance of excess folders in the Start Menu.

Upon analysis of the Windows Vista Game Explorer, one finds that all the information one would need to know about a game is right there as a Start Menu button. Although each game maintains its own separate folder in the computer, one no longer searches through the Start Menu to find it. With one click on the Windows Vista Game Explorer, one has access to all the games stored on the computer.

This new feature also enables multiple options that were previously not on Windows. An analysis of Windows Vista Game Explorer now gives the user a right-click option list, thereby enabling one to pin a game to the Start Menu for easy access, or even to place it on the desktop as a shortcut, or put the shortcut in the Quick Launch feature of Windows Vista.

Further analysis of Windows Vista Game Explorer reveals other options previously not featured on previous versions of Windows. One can organize the games in ascending or descending order of name of the game, which game was last played, the product version, publisher, developer, rating, parental restriction access, and content descriptors.

In this way, Windows Vista Game Explorer eliminates the hassle of right-clicking everything to try and organize the computer's folders, and allows for a one-click fix to set to the user's particular taste. Analysis of Windows Vista Game Explorer also shows that when a game is highlighted, a cursory summary of the product appears as an image on the right side of the window.

It displays the game's cover art (if applicable and available), name, and rating with description/reason for rating. This facet enables the user to view the game they have highlighted, eliminating the hassle of starting the wrong program accidentally.

From the Windows Vista Game Explorer, one can highlight the desired game and use the "Community and Support" tab to view the game's home or support website. This removes the multiple steps it takes to open the browser, find the right sight, and then search the site for the proper link.

Again, the Windows Vista Game Explorer does away with another slight yet bothersome hassle of web browsing. Analysis of the Windows Vista Game Explorer also has a "Play" tab, which the user can use to either directly start the game, or set multiple play options from which to choose.

Windows Vista Game Explorer has taken PC gaming and made it one-click-away simpler.
