    Hi guys, not really sure if I'm posting in the correct place so bare with me.

    I'm using the DirectX SDK to compile game definition files (GDF.dll) for all of my pc games that I'll use to populate the Games Explorer in Windows 7. I noticed the GDF Editor allows you to put up to five Genres, Publishers, and Developers, but Explorer will only show one of those items only, so I'm trying to figure out why would it be possible to have more entries if they will never show up anyway. And yes, I've also signed the GDFs in their respective registry keys.

    Could any of you familiar with the DirectX SDK/Game Definition File Editor shed some light on this?

    Thanks.
