Ever since I started using multiple harddrives, I decided to keep the operating system on my SSD and route all new programs and games to my 1tb 7200. Recently I decided to install a fresh install of Windows 8 because I was having some issues with my original problem.
So, I'm on a fresh operating system and it doesn't detect my games and programs from the 1tb 7200. I can manually retrieve the launchers for some games, like world of warcraft, and then update the ProgramData folder that holds launcher data allowing me to play, but other games that don't use an updating launcher like Fallout: New Vegas cannot be manually opened and played. And even though I play World of Warcraft the system does not recognize it as a program that I have installed, it just exists and is playable.
So how can I use these programs and games that don't let me manually use them? How can I get windows to detect all my programs?
Thank you,
