Hi, How to change the drive c with winecfg ? This cell is disabled to "../drive_c" then I would move it to "/home/wine/.wine".

In fact I want to move ~/.wine is either in a partition to /home/wine/.wine
I created a symbolic link from ~/wine to a partition, but Wine does not work.
I created a symbolic link from ~/.wine to a partition, but Wine does not work.
I take it back. I do not want that Wine is installed on my home directory. So I created a partition that I attach to ~/.wine but it does not work. Unfortunately Google does not help me.

Please look at the Wine FAQ article that dimensio directed you to. This will vastly help in your desire to move Wine files out of your home directory. James McKenzie
