HOW TO SAVE YOUR SOLITARE DEFAULTS

If you're like me, you have a particular way you like to play solitare.. level, scoring, even the number of cards drawn. Did you know you don't have to reset these options each time you start a new game? Here's what to do:

NOTE: This tip comes to us from GWRepJohn.. THANKS JOHN!!!

To 'save' your default options in Solitaire, here are the steps to follow. 

"Click' means press and release the left mouse button once. "Double Click' means press and release the left mouse button twice. 


From GeoManager, double click on the Solitaire icon. To get a full sized window, click on the maximize button (button in top right corner of Solitaire window). Click on 'Options' in the Menu bar and set your options, then click on the Game Menu and 'pin' it. Drag the menu (by clicking on the title bar of the menu, holding the left mouse button down and moving the mouse to the right and up) and place it on the title bar next to the 'minimize' ( raised dot) button. From your 'pinned' game menu, you now have the 'undo' and 'restart game' options available all the time.

NOTE: EACH time you exit Solitaire, you MUST use the minimize button to 'iconify' it.  This icon is contains your saved defaults. A Solitaire icon now appears at the bottom of the GeoManager screen. 

Double click on the Solitaire icon to run it or select Solitaire from the Express Menu (Blue 'E' at top left of screen). 

Also, you MUST exit PC/GEOS via 'Exit to DOS' from the Express Menu. This saves the state of PC/GEOS and loads the Solitaire icon each time you run PC/GEOS. It takes a few seconds longer to load, but you have your Solitaire defaults saved.  If you exit PC/GEOS from the Welcome screen, the Solitaire icon and all your defaults will be lost. 

Enjoy.
