You see - the exe is originally on the cd, during installation it was of course copied to your hard drive. The reason I tole you to use the one on your hard drive is because it is very difficult to extract the exe out of it's .cab file on the cd.
On some games however, the exe isn't hidden away in a .cab file so you can just take it from the cd rather than the hard drive.

It doesn't really matter where you get the exe from - whatever happens to be the easiest method for each game.

Yes it is usually the exe which is protected - and also it's usually the main exe (the one you start the game with). But it is worth checking by using Safedisk Analyser on the exe (see link at top of page).
