A better way to find game folders...

[jc1201]

I may be a rare case but I have a number of drives connected to my machine and my "games" folder is in an odd location. Because of this it takes NMM 10 minutes to find my games as it's doing some kind of broad random search across all of my drives.

 

A better way to do this, I think, would be to START the search in the Windows "start menu" and look for shortcuts to the game executables there, and then if they aren't found resort to the "whole system" search. That should speed things up significantly.

If you really do mean NMM - you are in the wrong place. This is a Vortex discussion forum.

With Vortex, you specify the drives to search for games. Works well.

you do realize you can stop the search , and manually input the locations , right?

also , I'm not really sure it would actually work , or if a program can actually call for the start menu search function

as a side note , if this is about NMM , you are in the wrong part of the forums (though I don't know if Vortex searches your games as well , as I have yet to try using it)
