Start Minesweeper. 2. Type xyzzy then 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)
