Best Minesweeper times?

I finally beat minesweeper on Expert. After months of playing it while browsing the net.😎

My times:
Begginer- 19 seconds
Intermediate-85
Expert-323

note, I was doing these at a leisurely pace while looking at AGN, not racing.

my best beginner time was 18. don't really play the others.
you can manually edit your times in some ini/bat (forget what) file in your windows folder 😃

One time in beginner it was set up so perfectly that it only took 1 click to finish the board. 2 seconds.

Damn, I suck, my best is like 25, I can't play it now though. It doesn't seem to be on Windows 2000, or maybe that's just my computer.

Edit: On beginner

Beg.-13
Adv.-204
Expert-Haven't beaten it yet. But I came SIX mines from finishing, and after I made a guess (and lost), I noticed that I had an available move. Crap.

Beginner: 33 seconds
Intermediate: 189 seconds
Expert: haven't played it yet, but that's my next (and only other) goal.

Beginner: 23 sec
Intermeadiate: 142 sec
Expert: 999+* sec

* i was playing another game (championship manager) and during its processing time and real dull matches (friendly's and the like) was doing expert. So in thinking time i done it a lot quicker but i was just happy to complete it ! As when you get down to the last 10 mines or so you are often confronted with pure chance scenarios which is just up to luck and no skill.
