Thanks, Unless things have changed, I think the normal suggestion is to look for the HKLM/Software/Wine registry key -- Bill Medland mailto:billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com http://webhome.idirect.com/~kbmed
Hold on... Let's pretend that a particular software manufacturer decides that running thier software under wine is no in the best intrest of the company. Or better yet, decides that if the program isn't running under a true Microsoft windows It will you that running program XYZ under Wine is illigal (Due to click-wrap licence agreement). Can you safely remove that key so that "menie" programs like that don't know where they are. Remeber DR-DOS and Win3.1? --- Bill Medland <billmedland(a)mercuryspeed.com> wrote:

Not trivially, but if you are thinking of Microsoft then that would be illegal and I doubt they are keen on landing themselves in court all over again. There are ways to detect Wine that would be nearly impossible to fool without extensive system modifications. We'll jump that hurdle when we come to it.
