I used to play Microsoft Sudoku now and again but Microsoft have just
fecked it up totally, they've also started game nag screens on Solitaire
Collection which you can stop by crossing their palm with silver, never
did this since I started playing it donkey's years ago.

You should look on them as English teachers.

I like to occasionally play solitaire. I had an older version. After
the latest update, microsoft completely deleted it from my hard drive.
So now, the only solitaire on the machine is the one with all the
adds. Guess I'll have to search for a new game.

These are versions of the game, where a handful of header bytes were
modified, so that the application won't be blocked.

This is to give you some idea how large the ZIP is.

Name: Win7Games4Win10_8_81_v2.zip November 01, 2016

A virustotal scan of the download I got.
Hopefully, the checksum on a new download is the same.

Here (on my Dropbox) are the two files required to run the XP-Solitaire.

(Click the Underlined down-arrow to download).
Extract Folder to where you like (Desktop/Documents), make link to (or
just Run) 'Sol.exe'.
