 The problem can be solved for most games by stopping the explorer.exe before playing. As long as it is running or restarted, the color errors occur. Therefore it makes sense to point to a batch file instead of the usual program shortcut, which first closes the Explorer, starts the game, and after finishing the game starts the Explorer again. In this way it is relatively convenient to start the game without getting the color problems. A generic variant would look like this:

 The ''<game name>'' is a meaningful name, so that it is clear what happens next. ''<game executable>'' means the ''.exe'' file, which would otherwise usually be started via the shortcut or directly. Now you can let already existing desktop or start menu shortcuts point to it and assign them the icon from the binary. So the whole thing looks exactly as if everything would run normally, only that before the game the query occurs so that the Explorer has enough time to vanish from memory before the game is started.
