I have not written the updater nor am I maintaining it (that's jnils' project), just to clarify that. But since I know it's source code just take it as a fact please that the EQ2MAP updater is without a doubt not the cause for this.

I don't use Vista or 7 so I have no experience with this. From googling the game folder/explorer I did understand that Windows itself is adding games there either by auto-detecting them or by the game's installer calling a Windows API function pointing it to a game definition resource which Windows reads to add the game. In both cases it is down to Windows itself to detect whether the game is already added or not.
Games are being stored in the registry at this location:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameUX\
So that is where I would start to find out what's going wrong, in particular which name/path it is storing for the game executable (because that is what it would be comparing I reckon).
I also saw this:
http://gameeditor.webnode.com/ maybe it helps. (PS: or the link Landiin posted, probably the same type of app)
