CHEATS
1 . All versions: Hold a left-click on the face. This pauses the timer until you solve the next situation, then you can slide off the face and resume.
2 . Win3.1, XP: Type xyzzy, press 'Shift' and 'Enter'. A white dot appears at the top left corner. When you are over a mine the dot disappears. If you can not see the pixel, use a darker background.
3 . Win3.1 & Win95: Hold both mouse buttons so the face opens its mouth. While doing so, press and release Esc, then release the buttons. To restart the timer, minimise then restore the window, or start a new game.
4. Win95: Apparently, if you leave the game stuck at 999 seconds, the timer eventually kicks over and counts up to 86.
5 . Win3.1, Win95, Win98: In notepad, open winmine.ini and change names and scores.
6 . WinXP: Enter the registry, navigate to ...\winmine. Double-click on the values you wish to change and save.
