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. dave 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 |
