I couldn't find it. Can you specify?
@krial: Thanks, I'll use that as a reference

It really doesn't work that way - you're supplying me with a link to your hard drive. It's working only for you.

press the windows_key and the r key on the keyboard(or search for "run" under windows startbutton) and then enter the following: There you have to go under "Media/Manialinks/Solitare/index.xml" and open it with a texteditor.

To try solitaire out, move your cursor inside trackmania on the top. There you have to enter on the right of the houseicon the following: and happy playing

Copy-paste the link in the TM browser bar where you normally type manialinks.

It works well in TM, but I don't have PacksCache folder. That was actually first place I looked for, but no, nothing. There's only Gamedata and Packs folders. Inside those, nothing important for this case. I actually searched for my whole HDDs and no Maniaplanet_Extras file was found :S

I think you did not what I said
I think you are looking in the installation folder, but the Programdata folder is not the folder where tm is installed and the maniaplanet.exe is.
You have to go in the Program data folder. You can find it by doing what i said:

Or if you are still not getting it, you have to find the path manualy. For me it was "C:\ProgramData\". It could be that the folder is hidden. (use google to find how to show hidden files and folders).
If your path is the same than mine you can enter this in your internetbrowser urlbar:
[url]file://C://ProgramData/ManiaPlanet/PacksCache/Maniaplanet_Extras.zip[/url]

Or you open the launcher, click the Help button and you'll find the path to the right of the "Move Game Data" button.

Now I found it, thanks to svens.
@krial: What's your OS? %programdata% is not valid environment variable, not at least in WinXP. Crazy thing that Maniaplanet installs those files to AllUsers folder, I had looked into my own appdata folder but didn't even think of all users. Thank you for your help, anyway (though, I'm not that noob with computers, but I there's no way you could've known it).

The actual reason I missed it was because of windows didn't find it with search so I thought I don't have in my computer. Well, next time I need to search something, I'll skip windows' default search function.

Hehe, I tested inserting that into a track. It really works! Next thing to find out can you block player inputs until you beat spider

EDIT: urgh, are you using Vista :S
