Hmm, how do I ask this..
I'm still pretty new to steam, unfortunately.
When choosing the "Add a non-steam game to My Games List", and picking a game, launching that game, will it show an indication saying " ... is now playing Company of Heroes"/In-game: Company of Heroes" to friends like other games, or will it say nothing..

uh...well, some of my games are not exactly non-illegal steam games, and i'm afraid if i add it to steam, it's going to try to update it and then make it go kaputz(cod4)
sorry to say, i cannot give a feedback on this

Adding a non-Steam game simply adds a shortcut to it on your games lists. You can add any program to it. I even added Internet Explorer. As for the answer to your question, I don't think so based on the way you add things.
