Lost Games Folder with Shortcuts

[joe]

I dragged the GAMES folder from my STARTUP menu onto my DESKTOP and then
deleted it at the end of the day. I thought I was deleting the image of the
folder - nope - it was the list of shortcuts to all of the card games et.al.
I have been playing. I found the ones I don't play in C:\WINDOWS\system32\
but cannot find the others, such as Internet Backgammon, Internet Spades,
etc.

After failing at a search for "back" "backgammon" and "games" I thought
maybe someone here knows where these little (non-system necessary) files are
placed?

Thanks in advance!
