The profile tab can create a `.lnk` shortcut for normal executable entries. GalAid also keeps a small local recent-launch history with entry names, relative paths, and timestamps so users can see what they tried without adding those details to reports or support bundles.

The launch tab can prepare ZIP/RAR/7z archives, legacy LZH/LHA/ARJ/CAB packages, tar-style packages, and detected self-extracting EXE packages through the one-stop launch button. GalAid creates a fresh sibling `*-prepared` folder, asks for a user-provided password only when needed, expands compressed tar packages such as `.tar.gz/.tgz` in a second pass when an inner `.tar` appears, scans the extracted folder, and launches the top recommended entry when one is found. Self-extracting EXE support is metadata-gated: the desktop scanner must first list the EXE with the bundled or local 7z-compatible helper and see archive entries inside it, so ordinary game launchers stay on the direct-launch route. If the prepared content has no game launcher but does expose `setup.exe`, `install.exe`, `autorun.exe`, `.msi`, or an `autorun.inf` target such as `Start.exe` / `SetupJP.exe` / `Setup.cmd`, including shell install commands, GalAid presents that as a separate install-media entry and can open it from the same one-stop flow. Metadata preflight also recognizes old install-disc layouts such as `autorun.inf + Start.exe + data1.cab`, so likely autorun stubs are not promoted as game launchers before extraction. Windows Installer packages are launched through `msiexec.exe /i`. Package preflight also labels bundled DirectX/VC++/.NET/VB6/QuickTime/RPG Maker RTP repair tools so they are treated as fix clues rather than launch entries, and the package card shows launch, install-media, and runtime-repair samples separately from generic file samples. Support bundles include the same compact package/image preflight view as `package-previews.json`. The package tab still offers `Extract and rescan` for users who want to choose the output parent folder manually.

Disc-image rows can use `Mount/extract and rescan`. On Windows, `.iso` files are mounted with the built-in `Mount-DiskImage` command when available. During scanning, small `.cue` sheets are read for `FILE` track declarations so differently named `.bin/.img` media files can be grouped with the descriptor and missing tracks can be called out before preparation. When the bundled or local 7z-compatible helper can list a supported disc-image directory, GalAid records internal launch, installer, runtime repair, and engine clues without extracting the image. Other supported image files are handled as a best-effort local extraction through the same helper before GalAid rescans the prepared output folder.
