Hi there Jack nice to hear from you.

Well what I think you're referring to was WIN32S which was a 32Bit API that could be installed on Windows 3.1 and was designed to allow Windows 3.1 16Bit OS to run "some" 32Bit applications. It did not create a SYSTEM32 folder though. Windows 95 used a Win32 API by default, but kept 16Bit functionality via Thunking and Realmode drivers.

Wikipedia shows FreeCell as this (so you were not far off - I just don't think/recall it created a SYSTEM32 folder)

Quote:

The game gained worldwide popularity thanks to Jim Horne, who learned the game from the PLATO system and implemented a version of the game with color graphics for Windows. It was first included with Microsoft Win32s as a test program, but was made a part of Windows 95 and has been included with every version of Windows since.





Though not really sure why I'm so concerned if it did or did not, as to me the real issue is that it's just poor coding plain and simple even if you do have a SYSTEM folder on 2K/XP
