trog69: I am pretty much at a loss as to where the heck the folder containing the actual game itself is located. It is not where the Options menu specifies. Nor could I find it on D:\ drive, though I found more files there than on C:\.
What game? Some games, like The Witcher 3, have the executable under the System folder. Other games run through DOSBox, so you need to run DOSBox with parameters to properly play. All of them though should have a "Launch {gamename}" shortcut in the installation directory. trog69: I also asked Support this question today; Is there no way to just get the option to place an icon on the desktop after a game is installed, or, if I re-install the game files just to get the icon option, will that cause the Saved games I have already to be deleted somehow?
When uninstalling, you have the option of removing the saves. If you answer yes to that, you will lose your saves. Otherwise they should be safe. If you mention what game you are talking about, we should be able to direct you to where the saves should be located, in case you want to keep a manual backup of them.
