           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 at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank at 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.
