Minor Solitaire WTF
-
Hi,
First post, so let the cries of "Not a WTF" or "TRWTF is the OP" start...
Anyway, I occasionally play around on Solitairewhile at workto pass the time, and have had a couple of instances of the house making sure it wins.
Here's hoping the images aren't too big/in the wrong format for people:

So what's the WTF? The fact that it doesn't check the game to see if it's impossible?
-
In the firs example he's got two fives of hearts. In the second example he's got two aces of clubs. Broken program.

At least you guys get that far... Management here made me do this to our domain group policy for starting Solitaire:
Sometimes I hate being the sysadmin...

You do realize that restriction only applies to programs that acknowledge it, right?

Not when it's applied by the OS itself. Windows NT series have had "software restrictions" for a long time already... can allow/deny programs by full path or MD4 (?) hash.
-
Both of which are surely equally easy to change?

Not that easy as the restrictions are applied every time you logon to the domain, and restrictions are often added to prevent you logging in without a domain.
Apparently our systems use "digital signatures" to check what software you are allowed to run. However, moan enough times about needing more software and eventually they get so annoyed that they remove all restrictions :-)
-
The real WTF is the colour scheme he'is using. I mean, come on, even the default blue is better than this.
-
IIRC that check was/is done in user32.dll in the CreateProcess function, so it's checked in usermode and you can just hook the registry APIs and filter out anything related to group policy in order to bypass it. You could probably just call NtCreateProcess in ntdll.dll and save yourself the trouble, but I'm not sure if that's available to limited users.

He's playing spider solitaire. With nine decks.
...Despite the titlebar saying "Solitaire" with the appropriate icon?

It's funny how the A/♥ isn't lined up consistently across all of the cards (right next to the edge on some, significant gap on others). I'd call "photoshop fail", but it looks like you used MS Paint on this one...

It showed the spider icon before.

It's been a while, but it happened to me twice that a card or two got lost in Solitair. It had something to do with quickly dragging them outside the screen.
But the best bug (available at least until WinXP) is the one that allows you to place any card, (almost) anywhere by hovering one or more cards over a valid spot, hitting escape, and then clicking an arbitrary card. You just have to make sure you don't start to drag that last one. I like it how that trick allows you to get impossible goal heaps.

But they are not, only by the supporting libraries.
