The Windows 7 version of Minesweeper introduced a feature that allows you to save games to its own format. It ends with .MineSweeperSave-ms. (Maybe for Vista it also did the same?)
[edit] Identification
- The files start with
RGMHand then this byte sequence:4D 00 69 00 6E 00 65 00 73 00 77 00 65 00 65 00 70 00 65 00 72, which reads "Minesweeper" - Then, the next byte sequence appears:
4D 00 69 00 6E 00 65 00 73 00 77 00 65 00 65 00 70 00 65 00 72 00 2E 00 4D 00 69 00 6E 00 65 00 53 00 77 00 65 00 65 00 70 00 65 00 72 00 53 00 61 00 76 00 65 00 2D 00 6D 00 73which reads "Minesweeper.MineSweeperSave-ms" which is the filename always uses. - Then, it's a PNG thumbnail, and the XML board file, which starts with:
<Board>and like<SaveVersion>3</SaveVersion>which is the version used to save the game.
