Freecell

Due (partly) to the absence of H2G2 I have a freecell addiction.
My PC shows that I have played four and a half thousand games (other members of
my family must have contributed to this!) . In itself this is bad enough, but I have
become fixated on trying to keep my winning up above 59%. Has anyone encountered
this difficulty and has anyone any idea how to deal with it? Is there a limit to the
number of games Windows 95 will record? Is this my way out?
I have considered resetting the game score but that would inevitably set me off trying
to score a greater percentage.
Help.
Please
Due to Freecell on the brain this post appears all over the place. Sorry.

You could try editing the entpack.ini file in the Windows directory (Not that I could countenance such skulduggery)

Yes, there is a limit to the number of games recorded. I'm not sure how Freecell stores the numbers, but the lowest limit it's likely to be is over 32 thousand games. I think it's quite likely that Micros**t put the limit at about 2 billion, though. That only takes another two bytes to store.
