using software without using the cd

[Meiosis]

I would like to add in a note that most kid games have a "playgame.exe" or "rungame.exe" that plays the game directly from the cd. If you come across games like this, then essentially all you need to do this explore the cd and copy it's whole contents into an empty folder on your hard drive. That way all you would need to do is either run the "playgame.exe"/"rungame.exe" or install and play.

This only applies to older kid games released in the 90s, I'm not familiar with how the newer ones work.
