Is there any way to copy windows games so that you can later install them on another computer?

I'm pretty sick of playing solitaire on my work computer (you know, during lunch hour and stuff), but I don't want to play any online games or install other, more complex games. But it would be nice if I could at least get spider solitaire or mahjongg, which I have on my home computer (pre-installed windows games).

Anyone know how to do this? I tried just copying the files from the program files and putting them in the program files of the work computer, but no luck. Not that i was expecting it to work anyways, since there's always some necessary files in folders other than the program files.

If you go to the control panel, "Add/Remove programs", there is an option to add Windows components. If you use the Windows CD, perhaps you can add games to an existing installation.

just copy the files over. they are standalone executables (i.e. you don't need an installer).

Spider Solitaire is spider.exe, Hearts is mshearts.exe, Freecell is freecell.exe. i don't play regular Solitaire but i'd imagine it would also have an eponymous file name. the files should be located in <WINDIR>/system32, most likely (C:\windows\system32)
