LS_Dragons Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Well here is the cheat:You can configure Minesweeper to display either a white or black pixel on screen, depending on if the cursor is over a mine (black) or not (white) by following these steps: 1. Start Minesweeper. 2. Typexyzzythen press Shift+Enter. 3. Minimize all windows and begin play.The pixel in the top left-hand corner of the desktop will be black if the cursor is over a mine square or white if the cursor is over a safe square. This trick works on all versions of Minesweeper supplied with Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 3.1.LS_Dragons (from the Windows XP and 2000 Tips, Tricks,... newsletter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blam-O! Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I first heard of this cheat on the orginal "TechTV, Screensavers - Call for Help". (When Leo was still there, thoses where the days)I got it to work - you have to have really good eyes, and make sure you have the screen on the "Screen": not going off the screen edegs. If you have a big mon - 19" or higher, try changing your Screen Res to 800X600 temp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
