           Summary: Wine hides native executables completely
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.9.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org
        ReportedBy: matthew.flaschen(a)gatech.edu


Wine implements explorer.exe, notepad, regedit, etc., and makes it impossible to
access the original (packaged with Windows) versions of the programs.

For example, if I navigate to my real windows partition, then go to
windows/system32, I would expect that (/windows is also the mount-point for my
windows partition; I set that up before I got wine):

matthew(a)matthew-e1505:/windows/windows/system32$ wine ./notepad.exe

would open the real notepad.exe.  Instead it opens wine's version.  I know wine
can open the real notepad, because I copied it to the linux partition, renamed
it (realnotepad.exe), and it ran fine.  Shouldn't it be possible to run/try to
run the original file?
