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?)

* The files start with {{Magic|RGMH}} and then this byte sequence: {{Magic|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: {{Magic|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 73}} which reads "Minesweeper.MineSweeperSave-ms" which is the filename always uses.
* Then, it's a PNG thumbnail, and the XML board file, which starts with: {{Magic|<Board>}} and like {{Magic|<SaveVersion>3</SaveVersion>}} which is the version used to save the game.

* Minesweeper on Windows 7/Vista
