Update to Microsoft Ink Crosswords

As I mentioned in an earlier post, it is fairly easy to force the installation of Microsoft Ink Crossword to your slate.

One thing you will notice, though, is that with the wide screen display, you may not be able to see all of your puzzle collections. To fix this, you need to install two dummy collections that will appear at the bottom of the list and force your files into view. Here are my steps:

1. Create two new directories:
   
   C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Ink Crossword\data\xpkZFill
   C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Ink Crossword\data\xpkZFill2
2. Copy a single puzzle into each directory.
3. Create a text file named PackContents.xml in each directory.
4. Edit each of the PackContents.xml files using Notepad so that they contains the following lines:

 <packcontents>
   <id v="xpkZFill2" />
   <cats>
      <c1  v="ZFiller 2">
        <p1  t= "FROM SPHERE TO ETERNITY" a= "By Clint Avery" m= "fcxFF0101-data.xml" />
      </c1>
   </cats>
</packcontents>

 Change the appropriate info to match the puzzle that you copied and the appropriate directory name.
