And yes, the laptop was freshly formatted, so the ~/.wine directory is fresh. I don't remember if it came as standard in the hoary cd, or I installed it through synaptic, but it would have been one or the other only.
Btw, I've come accross sites telling me to edit my ~/.wine/config file ... but that file doesn't exist in my case, I just assummed this file belonged to older versions of wine, and now it's replaced by the user.reg one (which is the one I was referring to as attempting to alter). Am I way off? I couldn't find any other obvious config file for wine in the usual places to edit.
