It would normally only do this if you are running games from your desktop; creating a folder somewhere else should solve this problem. If you want to continue running from the desktop (not recommended) then allowing the app will help with troubleshooting should you need it for whatever game you are playing.

1. It's not recommended to run programs from the desktop or to keep lots of files on the desktop as it can slow down the computer.
3. You can create a new folder pretty much anywhere else except for inside the Windows folders or any of the temp folders.
I would recommend you create a specific folder just for games.

You can put a folder on the desktop, but as it's a system folder; you could always run into problems with permissions or false alerts from your anti-virus program.
A specific games folder inside your downloads folder would solve this.
