Foolish question maybe, but are you sure you have file extensions set as visible in Windows ?

I'm not sure about how the games are installed, but check to make sure the file extensions are set to visible. So you can see the .exe and add that as a non-Steam game.

That's what you are trying to do, right ? Add them as a non-Steam game to launch with using your Steam library ?

After looking around a bit, you may be right. This is an older thread, but it seems that there might be some Microsoft Security issue with doing this :

Maybe that is what you were talking about when you said it may take other steps.
