How can I install games without need to use CD to play them?

Hi,

Just seeking some help setting up PC's for a few friends and family to play games without need to install a CD to play them.

Also.. on side note.. any good ways to store games or movies on hard drives with icon's to click and play would be much appreciated.

I think you want Daemon Tools. It's often used for piracy, so I probably shouldn't link to it. But once you find that I think you can figure it out.

Alcohol 52 or Daemon Tools.

Alcohol 52% Free Edition will allow you to create and mount your own virtual images

If its only one or two cames, you can seach for a no-cd patch.

Be warned though, if you use a no cd patch, there is a slight risk that anti-cheating software might be set off during multiplayer play for certain titles (worst case scenario being that one is banned).

More than a slight chance. A very GOOD chance. I used NOCD exes for non online gaming as i put my games in wallets and hate having to dig through it and hate wasting my DVD/CD player just to load, slowly, cutscenes.
