Summary: Can't disable unixfs Product: Wine Version: 1.1.43 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: shell32 AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
dlls/shell32/shfldr_unixfs.c claims that you can disable unixfs by deleting the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\Namespace{9D20AAE8-0625-44B0-9CA7-71889C2254D9} but unfortunately wine will recreate that key the next time you run a newer version of Wine.
To repeat, do
rm -rf ~/.wine wine regedit /d 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\Namespace{9D20AAE8-0625-44B0-9CA7-71889C2254D9}' wine notepad # Do File/Open and note that / does not appear in My Computer. wineserver -w ~/wine-git/wine notepad # Do File/Open and note that / *does* appear.
If we really want to disable unixfs, we may want a configure option to not even compile it in. I have a patch ready, will send it in.
