cards.dll
sol.exe

Make a folder "Solitaire" under Program Files and paste the two files there. Them make a shortcut to the sol.exe file for the Desktop
Works just like it did in XP.
Play around with the Left mouse button. It males the game much less tedious and more enjoyable.

Alt+Shift+2 starts the cascade anytime.

I find this version of Solitaire much better than anything MS has done since.

The Windows XP Tweaks 2.0 file was an easy installation of the beloved old Windows solitaire version as well as spider solitaire. That's it. No extras, memberships, advertising, or complications.

Enjoy!
