Bettye, thanks so much. I put my game preference in both the task bar and in start. I also hid the 35 other games I'll never use. This only took 3 minutes to do and I have been agonizing over this for many months. Again, thanks. Maryellen In a message dated 9/5/2010 5:56:47 P.M.

( Its the one you use to paste something. ) It will offer you the option to put the game in your task bar. Then when you want to play it, you don't have to go the Games program first. I have my spider solitaire set up this way. You can also put it in your "start " as well. If you want to get rid of all the others just do the same thing with each of them and you have the option to blank them out.
