I know, but what I actually did was to write a little 'script' that swaps
out the active "cards.dll" file depending on which solitaire game my wife
wants to play (two different games that have incompatible DLL files, but
unfortunately they're named the same).
So the icon that starts the game is actually starting a minimized batch file
which first copies appropriate file to the name "cards.dll," then starts
the game, hopefully maximized.  And yes, she *might* get a little put-out
if all of the sudden she has to start maximizing when she didn't have to
before, because I'd been "messing with her computer again" ;-)
