I have been playing Win 7, Free Cell for months. I always intended to

my First Loss.

I now know that my Free Cell stats are stored in an xml file. How
might I edit that file, to edit (delete) that one lose.


Any text editor. Even Notepad should be able to do the job.

Don't double-click the file. Open your editor of choice, and do
File*» Open in the editor menu, or drag the file into the editor's
client area.



Apologies!!

I thought I had updated, to the most recent posts in this newsgroup.
You will note that my reply today was in response to a much earlier
post. I have now read all of the subsequent posts.

BTW: I did open the xml file with Notepad, as well the noted other
two xml specific editors. Notepad did NOT give me any error messages
and it DID open the file. Alas, there were NO identifiable entries
displayed, such that I could edit the file. A non-technical person
might call the display gibberish?

As others have noted, there must be some encoding, that precludes
viewing and editing. For certain I have no idea how to proceed, and
edit that file.
