Windows NT Easter Egg - Freecell Instant Win
1. Start a new game.
2. Hold down CTRL+SHIFT+F10 3. Follow the instructions. 4. Double click on a card to do it. 5. (You can make it so when a person makes their first move, they lose the game! ;-) )

In response to John (with the cat). If you press Ctrl + Shift + F10 and then hit enter and then a number on the number pad on the right of your keyboard followed by enter, then you will find the game complete itself without using the mouse. This is most likely what happened.

There must be a bit more to this egg then what's given here. When I was half way through a game recently, our cat jumped on to the keyboard and FreeCell finished the game by itself. I can see how the cat hit Ctrl/Shift/F10 simultaneously (it jumped up from my left), followed by 'A', but how did the game then run by itself with no mouse clicks? Unfortunately the cat refuses to tell me what it did...

Don't you people get it?! It's FREECELL'S version, NOT the OS. If Apple were to somehow get this on their machines and have it run properly, it would still work. Microsoft simply put the same version of Freecell on all versions of Windows. The OS section has these eggs in it only because the programs come with them.

You will notice that it does not finish the game correctly. A correctly finished Freecell game should finish with the 4 Kings on top; but this Eegg method just dumps them on the stacks in a haphazard and random fashion.

This works both on the 32-bit version of FreeCell that comes with Win95 and the 16-bit version that comes with the Microsoft Best of Windows Entertainment Pack.

IF you have a program called ResHacker then you can open up the freecell,exe located in C:/WINNT/System32 (that cuz i have windows 2000 pro but itll be diff for people using like me or xp) then with reshacker installed and the file opened up look in the accelorators folder and click the freemenu and then click 1033. if you look at the last line it says "VK_F10, 114, CONTROL, SHIFT, VIRTKEY" this is reffering to string 114 in the string table folder. so when you hit Control, Shift, and the virtkey F10, you will activate that command. Now if you go to the menu folder and look at the file you will c this "FREEMENU MENU
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
POPUP "&Game"
{
MENUITEM "&New Game\tF2", 102
MENUITEM "&Select Game\tF3", 103
MENUITEM "&Restart Game", 107, GRAYED
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "S&tatistics...\tF4", 105
MENUITEM "&Options...\tF5", 109
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "&Undo\tF10", 115, GRAYED
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "E&xit", 108
}
POPUP "&Help"
{
MENUITEM "&Contents\t F1", 106
MENUITEM "&Search for Help on...", 110
MENUITEM "&How to Use Help", 111
MENUITEM SEPARATOR
MENUITEM "&About FreeCell...", 101
}
}"
Now on the last line you can add a line like this : "MENUITEM "&Win/Lose", 114" after the about freecell line then compile it, save it, and exit it, when you go into the game and look on the help bar there will be a new option there that says "Win/lose" and when you click it then it will act the same as hitting cntrl, shift, F10. LOL seems hard but isnt really

It doesn't work in Spanish version of FreeCell (text of User-Friendly User Interface is in English, but command buttons are in Spanish) :(

It also works in Windows XP. But it doesn't finish the game the right way. The cards are placed in random order.

If the buttons are in Spanish, just click the one on the left... Just because it's in Spanish doesn't mean it doesn't work! Learn Spanish if you have to!
