------- Additional Comments From thestig@google.com 2007-22-02 15:52 ------- I think / always shows up on the Desktop. However, after I removed the Z: drive entry in winecfg, when I browse directories outside of ~/.wine/c_drive/, I can see all the directories in the file system, but I cannot access any files or write anything.
The only part of the unix filesystem that I can access from Wine is my home directory, because ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/username/Desktop is symlinked to ~/Desktop and ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/username/My {Documents, Music, Pictures, Video} is symlinked to ~.
So a malware program can delete everything in your home directory, but it shouldn't be able to touch any other part of your file system.
