------- Additional Comments From bero@arklinux.org 2006-03-01 16:26 ------- Oops, right, I forgot I set WINEPREFIX in the startup scripts to system wide locations ages ago to allow other users to use applications another user installed even if they depend on stuff their installer wrote to the registry.
The feature request should be the opposite then - fall back to a global registry and global dosdevices akin to the one I've set up w/ a global WINEPREFIX while still allowing overrides to individual settings (e.g. global registry in /etc/wine, global drive mappings in /etc/wine/dosdevices, additional per-user mappings (e.g. to the home directory) in ~/.wine or the likes.
