Enable or Disable the Default games in Windows 7

In windows 7 and vista there are cool games. When I first installed windows 7 the games were disabled somehow. But later I figured out how to enable or disable those default games preinstalled in windows 7. I am going to share how you can disable or enable all the default games(Chess, FreeCell, Hearts, Minesweeper etc). Disabling the games can help if someone is always playing those games on your pc and you don?t want them to play it and you can always enable them later.

Here is what you need to do.

Step 1

Open the control panel.

Go to start>control panel

Step 2

If the control panel items are in category view then click the Programs and then Programs and Features.

If the control panel items are in large icons view or small icons view then click the Programs and Features.
