This patch should fix 17619 for new wineprefixes and other cases where C: is created. The logic is that C: should never be registered as a network share, which is the issue in 17619. It was suggested as a response to a previous patch that this should be relative to %SYSTEM% or something along those lines, but I believe that C: is a true special case, similar to how A: and B: are always reserved for floppy drives.
The patch still hardocdes the c: drive so it is incorrect.
It has been abundantly proven that the system drive is not always the c: drive on Windows (via comments and our conformance test results). So it is not Wine's place to force the user to use c: as the system drive.
It is on vista though, and I suspect later Windows will be as well.
