Which W98 file stores the Freecell records (Wins, losses Streaks etc.) & how is it possible to read it ? Which one stores the Winmine records ? If its in the registry, where ? And, same thing in XP. Thanks.

These records are normally stored in ini files in the Windows folder. I know Winmine 
is in Winmine.ini so I presume there's a Freecell.ini.

I found the winmine.ini. Thanks. There is no Freecell.ini.

Ok Tom I've installed the games just for you. The Freecell data is stored in the 
registry under

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\FreeCell

But they aren't easy to modify because they are binary.

Just Run: Regedit and do a search for Freecell.

Hey Keith - Thanks. They are easy to modify, they are Hexa.

You took your time getting back Tom.

So how have your modified the results?

Hey Keith. It took me a while cause I wasn't around for 2-3 days. So here is how it goes: As I was saying the record is in Hexa - Each digit goes from 0 to f. So if the record shows 0000 00 00 (don't pay attention to the rest of the right zeros), it's 0 record of course. If it shows 0000 0f 00 it's 16. If it shows 0000 ff 00 it's 255, ff 02 it's 767 etc. The record can go up to 65,535 (as far as I found). Play with the: "won", "streak", "wins" and see how they effect. For "stype": 1 or more is for wins streak and 0 is for losses streak.
