Start the editor and you will be able to add publisher information, box art and of course the .exe file. You only have to add the .exe file, everything else is optional.

This tool would even be better if there was an auto-scanner that automatically searches for your games (much like Xfire) and then fetches the box art via web, but it’s still a beta, maybe they’ll work on that!
