Folks, I'm still working on the shell path functions, and I was thinking of changing the directory layout for the shell directories (desktop, start menu, my documents and whatnot) from the Windows 95-ish way to the NT-ish way. That is, rather than being children of c:\windows, they'd generally be children of c:\documents and settings<username>.
Any complaints?
Why the change? Being more NT-ish isn't necessarily a good thing.
Currently Wine ignores multi-user stuff and delegates it to the host system. As your fake windows drive is probably already in $HOME having a separate Documents and Settings directory seems superflous.
I suppose some admins may want a shared fake windows drive but separate menus/icons (seems a bit odd seeing as the registry wouldn't be shared), but if so we probably need to think that through properly (ownership/permissions/etc).
