Minimize or close all running applications. Launch Minesweeper, then type xyzzy. Next hold down shift key for one second. Now when you move the mouse cursor over a Minesweeper square you will see a tiny white pixel in the top left corner of your desktop screen. This pixel will change to black when your mouse moves over a mine. You may need to change you desktop background to a solid color other then white or black to see the pixel.

It works

This sounds odd, im not saying it doesnt work but its weird.

If it was a cheat then why such a small indication of only one pixel changing colour? And if its just something that happens due to a bug then why does it happen?

Its odd, i havent tried it yet because im at college but there ya go.

Interesting trick. I might have to try it out next time i play minesweeper.

Original Content? I pasted that from the NotePad on my computer. What more original do you want?

I'm not reading this! You should alert people that this is spoiler. Now and then i like to play minesweeper, and thank god i didn't read this couse it would kill the game for me.
Warning peeps - it's a spoiler

Neat little trick, spose it's so small so you can fool your friends into thinking your some master minesweeper player . That's what I'm using it for. Pretty nifty that's for sure. Thanks for sharing.

It's only a spoiler if you try it.

That's what I used it for. Tricked a few of my friends thinking I was an expert. It fooled them.

well sometimes only knowing that you can do something really spoiles the game. that's why i didn't read it, and i don't know it now. but i think author of the topic should've mentioned it's spoiler at first place

[yachts360]

It's not a Spoiler. It's only a Spoiler if you use it. Besides that the game is still great if you dont use it. Read it or not it's still a cool trick to use when you want to beat someone.
