Manage all games with Windows 7 Game Manager

File the Win7 game manager, I believe everyone is no stranger. Because it can integrate many games into one window and display the details of each game completely, it is very convenient for us to choose the game we like to play. But the only fly in the ointment is that Windows 7 Game Manager only supports the display of certain games developed by Microsoft itself (such as "hearts"). So, can we add any game that we usually like to play to Win 7's game manager? The answer is certainly yes. Next, the author will add a classic FPS game "Counter Strike" as an example to introduce to you how to achieve.

Let third-party games be displayed in the game manager

The games that Win7 Game Manager can display by default are because the details of each game are saved to the registry. Therefore, we add a custom game "Counter Strike" to this game manager, which has to be done by modifying the registry. But before modifying the table, we must obtain the specific values ​​of the three parameters SID, GUID, and FileTime related to modifying the registry.

Enter the command to view the values

Tips: SID is the security identifier, which is the unique number that identifies the user, group, and computer account.

GUID is a globally unique identifier that is a 128-bit hexadecimal integer generated by a specific algorithm.

FileTime is the file time, which means that a given file is created, last accessed, or last written on a specific date and time.

Click "Start→Run", then enter PowerShell in the pop-up "Run" dialog box and press Enter to run PowerShell, then enter the next three DOS commands in the window shown above. (Press the Enter key for each DOS command):

whoami /user
[Guid]::NewGuid()
[DateTime]::MaxValue.ToFileTime()

After completing the above operation, copy the specific values ​​of the three parameters SID, GUID and FileTime generated in Figure A-C to Notepad for backup.
