Minesweeper Secrets
Saturday, September 01, 2007 by Striker
We all love this Windows built-in games, don't we? But sometimes, it is fun to know all tricks you can use in this game.
To Reveal Mines
With your cursor inside the minesweeper window type "XYZZY" then press Shift-Enter and Enter. A white dot should appear in the upper-left corner of the screen. If it turns black, your cursor is resting on a mine.
Note : A white dot is so smalll. This trick works best if your Windows background is black
To freeze timer
Start a new game and then hit the Windows key and the D key at the same time to minimize the game. (How quickly you press Windows+D will be your high score)
Then, maximize the game again and the clock will be permanently frozen.
