Vista - Vista installed games do not save and resume

I play simple games like Solitaire and Mahjong Titans. Nice games. But they
don't save themselves between sessions. I have set the Options to do just
that, but when I close a game it does not ask me to save it and when I
restart one it always starts with a new game. Bummer What's going on. Is
this a bug or what? Hello Microsoft?

Check in your directory\Saved Games to see if they're writing to that
directory or not.

For some reason I did not have a Saved Games folder. So I made a few until I
figured out where it liked it (directly under my profile) and now they work.
Thanks.

I have been programming for over 20 years and whenever my programs write to
a folder, and found it wasn't there, they made it, or remade it, for the
user, instead of just bombing out with nothing, not even an error message.
Silly Microsoft. But again, thanks.
