She doesn't. You can play games without using Galaxy. There is an option to play many if not most of their games without using Galaxy. I forget how to do it right now... I'll do a search tomorrow.

Apparently I don't have to, Uncle Reg. It looks to me (from the advice given on this thread) that although downloaded via Galaxy a game can be played by merely launching it from the desktop icon created during installation. But if I'm wrong I'm sure a techie will let me know

Yes, Oldbroad is correct. If you look at the target path of the game, it will show GOG Galaxy. But there is some way to change that which I have forgotten to look up!
EDIT: OK. So that was easy. If you downloaded with the Galaxy client, the target path will indeed be through GOG Galaxy. If you don't want to use it, it's easy as going to the game folder, finding the .exe file, sending to desktop as a shortcut and launching from THAT icon.

Well, I couldn't remember either and had to look it up! Ha, ha! Two old broads who can't remember... imagine that!

So .... just to be sure ....
Once a Galaxy downloaded game has been installed, I should delete the desktop launch icon it initiates and transfer the one from the actual game files exe. to use instead ??

I don't mind if it opens to play, but I don't want it running in the background when I'm not playing. Same with Steam.
