Hi, New wine user here. Installed Wine with IES4Linux and was totally amazed at how well it worked and how simple it was! Excellent! The problem I have is I want to restrict IE6 from being able to access my entire Linux file system and just allow it to access (for instance) ~/.wine/drive_c. I haven't found out how to do that yet. Is it possible? More detail: In IE6 under Wine, File->Open->Browse... allows me to go surfing my Linux file system. Meaning any viruses/malware that might infest IE6, could access anything I can read on my Linux FS (pretty much everything). I want to remove that possibility. Thanks, Randall

By deleting the ~/.wine/dosdrives/z: symlink, you'll make it a lot harder for malware to browse your system. It's not foolproof, but give it a shot. - Dan

However you won't be able to open any files there. What you see is the shell name space only. You can test this yourself with Wine's notepad by trying to open a file outside ~/.wine/drive_c. Chroot is not an option - Wine depends on lots of things that won't work in chroot.
