Hi, I have wine on ubuntu. and in wine C: is configured by default to use ../drive_c. However, I have my mounted vista here: /mnt/vista. In winecfg I cannot change the C: configuration to mine. And I have some apps intalled in win that I'd like to run directly without reinstalling on Win, just cause they are already configured. (KeePass application with passwords, sometimes I still use Win) What could you advice me to do in this case? I don't find info how could I change default C: cofiguration. Thanks in advance!
Changing Wine's C: to your real C: would trash your Windows installation. Don't do it and install your applications seperately for Wine.

However, you CAN mount c:\Program Files as a separate drive under Wine and then you can use programs, like Keepass from that directory. However, if you want to use programs like Office, you will have to do a separate installation in Wine. You WILL have to configure those programs under Wine as well. James McKenzie>
Ok, I see now... So how can I actually mount C: as c:/program files? I am able to mount it as G:, but not C:. At the end, the application doesnt run. Nothing happens..

I mean install them directly in wine on the default drive_c that is not pointing to any windows filesystem. John
