A sad old man's question (Freecell)

[Broadback]

I know it hardly counts as a game on this thread but I play the above game, I increase the number by one each time I win. Now the version with Windows 7 always opens a game on start-up, the result is that if I want to select my next game the current one counts against my statistics. Is there any way of selecting a game on opening, or how can I import the version (which will do this) I have on Windws XP?
I told you I was sad!

I hate the version of Freecell that comes with Windows 7, but the WinXP version runs just fine in Win 7.

From a Windows XP machine copy the files c:\windows\system32\cards.dll and c:\windows\system32\sol.exe and then copy them into a new directory c:\solitaire on your Windows 7 PC.

Create a shortcut that points to c:\solitaire\sol.exe and runs in a normal window.  That's it

If you don't have a WinXP machine to hand I have zipped the files into this FILE for you to download

Thanks Kimmel, I am now a happy old man. Worked fine except that I found that the file Freecell.ex was the version to which I am used.

all the built in games can be moved across to win 7, sorry I picked the wrong one

No need to apologise, it sorted it for me!
