Cheat Codes
There is a indicator hidden on the screen that will tell you whether
a block contains a mine or not. To turn it on, type XYZZY, then
press ENTER, then SHIFT. The pixel to look for is in the
upper-left of the screen and can be hard to see unless you minimize all
other windows (except Minesweeper) and have a solid dark-coloured wallpaper.
Hex Editing
None
Easter Eggs
If you hold down SHIFT + CTRL, go into the Help drop-down
menu, choose About Solitaire, then double-click on the Solitaire logo in
the top left corner of the credits window, you will get an animated flag
with the Windows logo on it, and a message. Repeat the process to get an
scrolling credits screen featuring either a bear, Bill Gates, or two other
people.
This works with most Microsoft software that comes with Windows.
