Shift] as soon as the game loads. Moving your pointer over a square with a hidden
mine will result in a very small black pixel appearing in the top right corner of
the screen. Alternately, type [Shift][Shift]xyzzy[Shift][Shift] after moving the
pointer over the game area. Note: This code does not work in the Windows Millennium
Edition version of the game.
In the Windows XP version, hold [Shift] and type xyzzx then press one box. If a small
white pixel appears in the top left corner, it will be safe to click the currently

Note: This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file

labeled "Name1", "Name2", and "Name3". Just change the name after the "=" sign, with
the name you wish to have appear on the best times list. Also, if you wish to edit
the times which appear on the list, edit the lines "Time1", "Time2", and "Time3",
to the number of seconds.

Easy win:
---------
Go to the "Game" option and click on "Custom". Make the size as follows: height 24,
width 30 and 10 mines. You should reveal a large number, if not all, of mines on the
first click. If you win the gamem the smiley face will be wearing sun glasses.
Select the "File" option, then click on "Custom". Set both the width and height to 100
and the mines to 10. If you are lucky you can get a one click win.

Freeze Time:
------------
There’s an easy-to-execute glitch/cheat in Minesweeper that will stop the game’s time
so you can take your time completing each puzzle (hence getting the high score!) To
do so, start a new game and then quickly hit the Windows key and the D key at the same
time to minimize the game to the bar below (and any other program). Then, maximize the
game again and the clock will be permanently frozen.


First block:
------------
When you are on any level, the first block you select will never be a mine (even if it
has the black pixel in the top-right of the screen).

Goto the Windows Directory then look for a file named
"winmine.ini". Open this up using wordpad. you will see
the lines.
[Minesweeper]
Difficulty=0
Height=8
Width=8
Mines=10
Mark=1
Color=1
Xpos=80
Ypos=78
Time1=999
Time2=999
Time3=999
Name1=Anonymous
Name2=Anonymous
Name3=Anonymous

If u edit the 999 to a time like 10 for time 1, then put
your name in for the name 1, whenu click on best times u
will see your time listed with your name. I have completed
this in 2 seconds and the other levels in 15 and 30. I must
have the record for cheating.

To change the high score in minesweeper you have to open
the file "winmine.ini". once you have opened it change the
name and time given at the bottom of the file.
The next time you open minesweeper your name with the best
time will be displayed

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.
This trick works best if your Windows background
is black.

Sound Effects:

For sound effects, add the line "SOUND=3"
to WINMINE.INI

Stop the Clock:

While playing, hold down the left and right mouse
buttons and you should see a 3x3 square imprint on
the board. Next hit the ESC key while holding down
both mouse buttons, and the timer is stopped!
