Here is an exclusive application for gamers. If you have used Vista for a while, you’d have come across Windows Vista’s Game Explorer, which can be accessed from Start menu.

If you access Game Explorer frequently, you might want to customize it with your own taste. As you may know, Windows doesn’t let you customize the Game Explorer by default.

Game Explorer Builder is a free tool for Windows and Vista that lets you customize Game Explorer in a number of ways. With this standalone utility you can create, install, and delete games for the explorer.

Extract feature lets you extract games definition file, icons, and thumbnails (box arts) with a single click. You can also modify existing games from the Game Explorer.

Key features:

# Create, install and delete games for the Windows Game Explorer

Note: When we tested Game Explorer Builder, few options were not working fine. So, it’s not fit for Windows 7.
