Saving Windows7 Solitaire games

Hi rds35,

When you re-open the game after saving and select not to continue the previously saved game then this saved game will be deleted and starts the new game. It is by design.

However, if you want, you can change the location of the saved game and put it back to the original location when you want to continue the same game. This is a tedious process though.

To do so, follow these steps.

a.       Save the game.

b.      Click Start, Computer and then open the local disk (C :)

c.       Open the Users folder and then “Saved Games”.

d.      Right click on the saved game and select copy.

e.       Navigate to the location where you want to put this file. Right click and then click Paste.

Now you can play a new game. Later, if you wish to play the previously saved game then go to the location where you saved the game. Copy and paste it to its default location under “Saved Games” as mentioned above and double click on it to continue the game.

zebloc here.  I tried your solution and it worked.  The trick is - only one saved game is acceptable, it has to be in the right place and it has to have the right name.  So the idea is to hide all your other saved games somewhere else & shuffle them around as required.  So, save your game and:

1)  Local Disk (C:)

2)  Users

3)  zebloc (my name)

4)  Saved Games

5)  Microsoft Games

6)  Solitaire

7)  Solitaire.SolitaireSave-ms  (this is the default name of the ONE allowed save game)

8)  Right click on the saved game and select Copy.

9)  Navigate to the location you want to put this file.  Right click and then click Paste.

Thank-You Syed N

After you paste the file back into the saved game folder, click on properties and change it to 'Read Only'. Then it won't be deleted and will be available for you to play whenever you want to.
