Sorry for the loss, are you able to keep her high score saved too?

I wanted old school MS solitaire in windows 11 since the modern version has ads and extra useless features. I found that the Windows XP version works without hassle. Earlier versions aren't really different but I forget if I tried to run earlier versions. One quirk: however the winning animation is programmed, it takes almost 20 minutes to complete on a very wide monitor[1].

  • it was fun until the end which was a temu ad. Before that there was an emoji that said end automatically, which was no fun. and then there was no cool card shuffling at the end.

    Don't visit the link, unless you like feeling let down.

The score is a value stored in the Windows registry, the poster probably re-created (or imported from a previous export) the registry entry upon each Windows installation.
