That said, animation frames from these classic decks can still be found in the Windows XP version under cards.dll. None of the XP decks ever seem to be animated, unlike some of the classic decks. It is worth noting that the 16-color icon variant (used from Windows 3.1 onwards) still actually exist in Windows XP version, as a low color depth fallback. In the lower resolution variants, the correct smooth drop shadow is present.

The high resolution 32 bit icon used in the Windows XP version seems to be using the incorrect icon, where its drop shadow is blocky like the 8/16 bit icon.

Inside sol.exe (the earlier versions at least) is this group of strings: This string is left over from debugging, and not used in the retail game. Interestingly, the first option is called 'Hell, I don't know' in NT4, both in the debug and retail versions. The first one does nothing, and the functionality of the second one has mostly been removed in the retail, so it just seems to freeze the game. However, you can re-add the other two to the menu, too. 'Force a win' has a key combination assigned to it in the final game ( Alt + Shift + 2), so you can still use it. These are leftover options from the debug menu. It is unknown if there is a way to use or re-enable this feature. This message, which has been confirmed to be in the Win3.x, Win95/98/ME and XP versions, suggests that there was (or is) an option that allowed you to use a custom bitmap for the background image of the Solitaire window.
