I have been playing Free Cell since prior to 2007. I can't tell you when I started, but the only Catholic friend I ever had died that year and we had been talking about Free Cell. Sometime during my Windows XP days, and, I'm guessing Word 97 maybe, I started keeping track of the REAL tough Free Cell games, by game number. When I advanced to Windows 7, my records came right along with it. Then, maybe one year ago, the file with all of those game numbers that I had so carefully kept track of, became corrupted. Nothing I had would open the file. X*<c$*! Cuss word there. So I ignored it from then on. I was sorry to see it go, but I abandoned the effort since I couldn't access it. When I got Windows 10, I also got Word 2013, which obviously was designed from scratch by those with too much time on their hands at Microsoft, and was a B....to learn and I'm still not up to speed on either of those. However, in searching for Spyder convertibles with Windows Explorer a few days ago, my search popped up with a file that said something about scoring for Free Cell and Spyder Solitaire, so I double clicked it and opened it with Word. And there were my high scores etc. for both games! Imagine that. For some reason, I then tried to open my corrupted file of REALLY TOUGH FREE CELL game numbers, and lo and behold, drum roll, it opened that corrupted file. I promptly saved it as a .docx file under Word 2013.
I don't know which program did it, but that was (my) good luck piece for 2015, I guess.
