    So i got the stacks docklet for ObjectDock and i thinki its great, but i was wodnering is it possible to make it so that it opens the games folders? as i have one that opens the Control Panel which is great but i would like one that opens the Games folder, and by that i mean the area where the games are (not programs)

    yes.

    i was just thinking of adding the .exe's into a folder i create then just link it to that, would that work?
    i was also thinking of doing this for all my programs.

    You can just create shortcuts for all the .exe files and move them to one folder. It works :D

    Check the .exe files in this folder, C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games.

    Alternatively, you can copy the shortcuts from the start menu to another folder. Then you don't have to find the .exe's.

    To do this, find the items in the start menu and drag using the right mouse button. Select "Copy here" from the menu. Alternatively, you can right-click the Start button and do "Open All Users" and then open the Programs folder and then find the stuff.

    thanx swarmer, i found how to get all the game exe's into one folder.

    i read that stack dockelt requires UAC to be switched off, is this true? can i have it switched off when i configure it and then switch it back on? and have it wrking fine (without any annoying popups)
