| please help me make this game full screen

To make one of the Windows Games such as Hearts larger:

First, copy the game:
Click Start / All Programs / Games
Right click on the Hearts game
Select Properties from the list
Press the "Find Target" button on the next window
Right Click on the highlighted file and select Copy

Next paste the copy to your Desktop:
Right Click on your Desktop
Select Paste from the list

Finally, we'll change the resolution setting for the game:
Right click on the game you just pasted to your Desktop
Select Properties from the list and Click on the Compatibility Tab
Put a check in the box marked "Run in 640 x 480 screen resolution"

Now whenever you want to play, click on that game on your Desktop and it
will open in full screen mode using the largest Cards and Numbers possible!

Only manually I believe, right-click the desktop, go to settings and move
the slider to 800x600, just keep a note at where it was to start with.

You're welcome Ron.

As Paul posted, yes, that's pretty much the case..
Unfortunately, compatibility mode only supports 640x480
so you would have to change the display settings for any
other resolution setting.

Cheers,
Jimmy.

I would like to remove Hearts from my computer. Yes it is killing my
productivity! When I delete it and put it in Recycle I then "empty recycle"
and it appears to be gone but when I search for it I find it once again. Yes
this is like the old joke "Doctor, it hurts when I do this" and the doc
replies "then don't do that". Thank you for your help
