Hi,
Can anyone please explain to me how you navigate to and manipulate the contents of the Games Explorer in Windows 8.1?
Some of my games automatically have appeared in this directory and thus are displayed under "Games" in my Start Menu. All of these games except one (Bioshock 2) are NON-Steam games.
Trying to tidy up a little bit, I thought I would remove Bioshock 2 from this Games Explorer area, seeing as I currently have 2 shortcuts for it now (1 is rightfully and intentionally under my Steam Start Menu Directory) and I want to clear space in getting rid of cluttered duplicates.
I can see no way to do this.
I also idiotically experimented with the 'paste shortcut feature' in Games Explorer to another game and now I just have an empty shortcut - not clickable or functional in any way, just an eye-sore.
I'm trying to navigate to the folder through Command Prompt to manually delete contents but cannot for the life of me and despite extensive Googling manage to navigate to this folder!
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games is empty even with hidden files shown.
Anyone able to help?
Thank you very much.
