This tutorial will be fairly simple, because were going to use a code, instead of doing this manually.

The install code below, I want you to copy, and paste into Notepad, and then save it as Install.reg.

The uninstall code below, I want you to copy, and paste into Notepad as well, and then save it as Uninstall.reg.

Once you've have your files saved, right click the Install.reg file, and click Merge, and same goes for the uninstall.

Install Code:

If you wanna know how to do this for XP, go here.

NOTE: You MUST have My Games visible on your start menu for this as it replaces that with My Videos. Also note that the Info Tip that appears when you hover the mouse cursor over the Videos icon seems to be unchangeable. It still reads Play and manage games on your computer.

It's a shame the volume on the background music was as loud as it was, making it difficult to follow the verbal instructions.  Otherwise this is a fantastic video tutorial!
