Summary: Support windows 7 user folders? Product: Wine Version: 1.3.18 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: dank@kegel.com
Windows 7 changed the folders in c:/users/$USERNAME around a bit.
My Documents is now just a link to the new folder Documents Application Data is now just a link to the new folder AppData/Roaming Local Settings is now just a link to the new folder AppData/Local
Well-behaved apps that use CSIDL_PERSONAL to get at "My Documents" will work regardless, but users or badly behaved apps might start expecting the shorter directory names sometime, so we might want to switch to the new names sometime for new wineprefixes.
I'll attach a demo patch that just changes Wine's shell32 to use the new locations; we would also need to add symlinks somewhere so that apps which reference the old locations keep working, as Windows does.
