The trick

Step # 1: Launch Minesweeper and press xyzzy

Step # 2: Hold key for about 10 seconds until a while pixel appears on the top left corner of your monitor.

Note: The white dot appears at the very upper left hand corner of your DESKTOP(monitor area) and not the actual game window of minesweeper. Also, usually there is no need to press the xyzzy keys. Just press the key and if the pixel is lid, that means you can open that tite.

Step # 3: Move the mouse until the white pixel disappears to find squares with the mines.

off pixel = mine present

      Just do as the instruction says. I believe it only works on windows xp and 2003. after typing the code and pressing the shift key after you will notice a small white dot on the upper left corner of your screen. It’s really small, just one pixel, if you don’t notice the white dot then maybe your cursor is over a mine so try moving your cursor around the minefield.
