           Summary: NtQueryDirectoryFile fails if querying a symbolic link
                    (eg: My Documents -> /home/username)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.32.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-files
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: silverblade_uk at hotmail.com


By default, the user's profile contains a My Documents symbolic link pointing 
to the home directory of that user. This can be configured with winecfg I 
believe.

However, it seems that WINE fails to acknowledge the existence of these files 
or directories when an application tries to access them.

If removing the symlink and using a real directory instead, with the same 
name, the directory is seen.

See the log which I'm attaching next (I've highlighted the part where I 
believe it's going wrong.)
