I tried to drag the download to the mobile device in my documents, but it wouldn't let me. Maybe I am not dragging it correctly. Please tell me how you do it. Thanks. (remember, I am a newbie..*s*)

The easiest way is to access games through the Games folder is to open en explorer view of the iPAQ on the PC you have it syncing with. Then traverse to the folder where you have game's executable file. Right click and create a shortcut, then rename it to what ever you want. Right click that shortcut and copy. Travers to \My Device\Windows\StartMenu\Programs\Games and past the shortcut into that folder, and repeated for each game.

Sorry about that, happens some times. :)
When you installed these games did you change the location where they were to be installed? If yes follow the steps below.
With the ActiveSync app open Click the button at the top that says "Explorer". This will open a Windows Explorer window. It may take a few seconds to bring up the new view, but you will be in the My Documents in RAM on your iPAQ. Now double click "My Pocket PC", then the "Program Files" folder. Now find the folder of the first game you want to make a short cut for and open that folder. In there look for the executable for the game, right click it and click "Create Shortcut". A new icon will appear in the folder. Right click this icon and click "Copy". Now in the at the top of your explorer window there should be a toolbar that is labeled "Address". Click the down arrow just to the right of text in the this toolbar and click "My Pocket PC", this may take a few seconds to refresh the new view. In the new list of folders and files double click the to the following list of folders "Windows", "Start Menu", "Programs", "Games" (once a gain it may take a few seconds for the new views in the Windows Explorer to appear). Now from the Edit in the Menu Bar at the top of the Windows Explorer window click "Paste". Now the new Shortcut icon will appear. If you would like to have the title of the icon to same some thing other than what it is, right click the new icon , click "Rename" and type the new title and hit your enter key. Now all you will need to-do is repeat these steps for each game you want to create a shortcut for.
