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.

As I understand it, Free Cell stats are stored in:

C:\Users\your user name\Appdata\Local\Microsoft Games\Freecell\Freecellsettings.xml

To edit it, all you need is notepad or any other text editor.
Then, find the appropriate entry and modify it, then save.


First, a Sincere Thank You, to the many responders. My question is FAR
less important than most other requests on this board.

Certainly I followed up on the various suggestions. I D/L'ed installed
the XML Notepad 2007, as well as another XML editor (Altova XMLSpy
2013) I found on the net. Neither xml editor allows acces to that
file. I have verified that the File Properties are not restricted from
editing. Both editors give me two, most similar error messages:

Sorry file c:\users\ ... \games \freecell \freecellsettings.xml
cannot be opened.

Can't load binary file c:\users\ ... \games \freecell
\freecellsettings.xml

Note: Above, I have truncated the the full file directory info. For
sure I did locate the applicable Frrecell file.

I sure would aprreciate further advice, as to how I can open and edit
that Freecell file, in an xml editor.

Thanks
