I have been playing Win 7, Free Cell for months. I always intended to
retry a given game until I won. On game 2710, I inadvertently accepted
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.
While surely minor, compared to many the REAL problems discussed here,
I am most annoyed at myself. I sure would appreciate any/all advice on
how to edit that file.

If you successfully open, edit, and save a working copy of this file,
let
me know. I've tried XML Notepad 2007, FOXE, Notepad, Notepad++, Word,
etc., and have yet to see one recognizable character in any of the MS
Games XML files. I've never much thought about it before, but your post
piqued my curiosity, just to see what's in it.
Impressive streak :-) When I was working, I had a 2000+ winning streak
after an early loss (played on break and at lunchtime only wink wink
nudge nudge ), but not near what you have.
There's a little comedy here. While it is possible to use
encryption on XML, apparently in one case, it was just
BASE64 encoding.

I tried an on-line decoder and got this error:
"The input is not a valid Base-64 string as it contains a non-base 64
character, more than two padding characters, or a non-white space
character
among the padding characters."
Maybe that's not it :-)
OK, try ROT13 next.

Nah, that ain't it :-)
Here's a sample of it from Notepad:
