Hi all, I've been running WINE on my Linux-Mandrake 7.2 box. I have a FAT32 windows 98 partition that I've directed WINE to use in wine.conf. I've been noticing that after running programs under wine, some of the directories on the windows partition will have been renamed to names like "$!$!$!$!.dsk" or "$!$!$! $!.prg". Needless to say, this interferes with windows' operation. Has anyone else experienced this? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance, -Avdi

In short your wine registry misses some values (did you adapt and install winedefaults?) and some MS program decides on this missing value to run amok.
