You'd better hope my grandmother doesn't see this. She loves freecell and would be very angry about someone manipulating it. She also lived through the great depression, uses the juice from a can of tuna and makes sure that you eat all the crumbs at the bottom of a box of cereal.

There is a trick to stop the Minesweeper timer by pressing Win Key + D (Desktop). When you come back, the timer would have stopped.

i know another minesweeper cheat which I GUARENTEE you will win everytime you play!!

ok 1st go2 Start AllProgams> Games Minesweeper File Custom...> Height:24 Width:30 Mines:10 click anywhere, numbers will appear in 1s and 2s press rhight button where 1 emty space is closed in around 1s usually if there are 2 empty squares together (on side of board) right-click the 1 closest to the number (you'll know what i mean when you see this) if 4 empty squares r together surounded by ONLY 1S the 2 middle empty squares R NOTT BOMBS the 2 on the end r bombs-again closest 2 the numbers. if 2 or 4 empty squares r surrounded by 1s AND 2s then theyy r all bombs.

p.s. you might nott be able 2 be on the high score list because the high score list hasent poped up 4 me yett so dont be alarmed if you dont gett a high score!!

hope this cheat helps!!
