Too lazy to make an unattended XP install disc but don't want to stare at nothing but progress bars while it installs? Turns out it's easy to run Pinball, Minesweeper, or Solitaire while the Windows XP setup grinds along. User Boofis on the Whirlpool forums explains: "You just have to wait until the right moment the pinball files are copied. Sometime after where it asks you for the product key and a question or two after that, where it says 'copying files'." Then you can press Shift F10 to get the command prompt, navigate to the appropriate folder, and run your game. Head over to the forum thread for the full instructions.
