Not sure if it only started in the Windows XP days, but it's a bad idea to put games in that folder, one of the reasons being that they might not work unless you give them admin access, for instance to be able to write user files in their own folders (and you might want to mess with them too, also consider mods), and giving them admin access is not the best idea.
- ogurechny 3y agoThe joke is that uneducated users routinely shared whole drives or system directories, including personal files and configuration data with passwords, but it could also be used as a trick if you didn't have a big drive, or anything more valid to share. As for file access, I doubt that many people have used non-administrator accounts on their own home computers. It was recognized when UAC was added to distinguish “real administrative tasks” for the administrator. TrustedInstaller limiting and 32-bit/64-bit virtualization divide happened later.
