How would you detect it if you were sitting at the box and had admin rights? What file or registry entry would you look for?

Registry? but some game not require installation can play already, and during installation, at registry also shoudn’t be have any value that specify it as game, right? correct me if I’m wrong

Flash games and such that are downloaded for the first time will be kept somewhere under the user’s temporary files. Looks for the files that end with .SWF. Unless you know what the current name of the .SWF would be for a particular game, I don’t think you’re going to find all cached flash files that were games.

For instance, take a look at a cartoon at www.weebls-stuff.com, such as: http://www.weebls-stuff.com/onthemoon/On+The+Moon+ep.21/

Now this flash cartoon downloads first before playing. Looking through the html or using Procmon.exe from sysinternals.com, you can determine that it uses a .SWF whose name starts with “544_moon21a”, such as “544_moon21a[1].swf”. Sure you can delete it, but it’ll just re-cache the next time it’s launched.
