I add all my games to Steam, organized by categories. I also have a folder on the desktop containing shortcuts to all of my games. That folder and recycling bin is all I keep on the desktop.

Don't really organise them. I put my currently played and regularly played games in my Steam favourites (usually ~10 or so). Other non-steam games I'm playing are on my desktop. The rest are wherever they are installed hidden away pretty much.

Currently I just keep all my games on my desktop since I have enough space on my hard drive to keep all my games installed. If I run out of room and have to start uninstalling games to make space I'll just make a list somewhere of all the games I own and from which DD services I got them from(in case of drm and that kind of stuff).

I don't, really. Just keep the games I'm playing at the moment in my Steam favorites. Non-Steam games I just find via the start menu.

I tried putting them into categories once, but I buy so many genre-defying indie games that that quickly became a total mess. So...I don't bother organising them at all anymore. I don't even use desktop icons. If I ever need to find a game that's not in my Steam library, I search for it using Window's start menu search function...thing.

with 1920x1080 res... the taskbar is huge, so I just stuff them all there having a clean desktop... the none-steam games of course. Steam games are accessible from the Steam icon on the taskbar

I start all Steam games through Steam. All other games I install that aren't from Steam are located on C:\Games, and they all have shortcuts in a "Games" folder in my start menu.

For non-Steam games: Start Menu > Programs > Games

For Steam games: in list view, categorised by genre.

OMG your desktop is so clean compared to mine :cry:

My valve games are on steam, every other game is in a folder and my most played games have shortcuts on my desktop.

What wallpaper is that by the way ?

Categorizing your games on steam is awesome. I love that you can even add non-steam games. Valve = bros!

Right now I have Steam games in Steam, and all other games on desktop. I didn't know you could do categories in Steam though. I might try organizing them more.

Just make a category for "Miscellaneous" or "Indie".

I have a lot of my games on steam so I just keep all my games in a big alphabetical list. It gets kind of confusing sometimes because I have like 50 games on steam, but it's quick enough. My other games I just search for in the taskbar.

Something else on steam the impatient among us might not be aware of, if you type in the first few letters in the name of a game, it will select that game for you. It works the same way Windows Explorer does.

This is what I do too. Some of my non steam games are pinned to my start menu (only FIFA 11 and rollercoaster tycoon 3 are there right now).

Mostly in Windows Games Explorer, which as you know is a hit & miss. I constantly trim the games I no longer play in the Games Explorer to 24 so I have a nice 6 x 4 grid. The Games Explorer is accessed through one click on an icon on my ObjectDock, pinned to the right of my desktop. Games that don't appear on the Games Explorer I dump them in the "Other Games" fly-out menu, accessed by clicking on the icon on my ObjectDock that's just below the one for the Games Explorer. Yeah I know there's a Games Explorer editor. Couldn't be bothered getting it to work.

By genre. That's the extent to which I organize.

I still have all the desktop icons out and about. I like seeing 'em there. I'm really OCD about it. I also have all my non-steam games added to my Steam game library, but because of the high amount of games that I have, it makes it lag a bit at the beginning haha.

I put all the game shortcut icons in a folder and i have a link to that folder on the quick launch bar. Any game which I am playing a lot currently I generally add a direct link to that in quick launch too. I don't really use desktop icons , just the quick launch icons, so this is pretty convenient.

I have a GAMES folder on my desktop with shortcuts to each game I have installed.

Also steam I have all my games on there (if they are not steam games I just have a shortcut there anyways). As for my boxed games they are near my computer.

Also ALL of my digital games I have on my two external HD's backed up so I can install em at any time.

I still haven't made one for those yet, I was thinking of something along the lines of Weekend sales, or midweek sales. Or just leave them under Games.
