Vista business - installing games

Is there a reason why it doesnt put an icon in the start menu or on the desktop when installing a game. I seem to have to keep rummaging through the program files to find an exe, its starting to get annoying

They are put in the games folder. On the right in the start menu, under documents, pics, music

Just drag the game .exe from the install folder ( or the .exe shortcut from the Programs area of the Start Menu ) onto the Games folder area of the Start Menu and it will create a new shortcut there.
