--- Comment #3 from Forest Hale lordhavoc@ghdigital.com 2009-07-02 00:01:32 --- Yes the winecfg "local hard drive" setting is now stored to the registry correctly, thank you.
However this still functions as autodetect as mentioned in my related bug 17619 .
I am not marking this resolved yet because "Local Hard Drive" is functioning as autodetect.
