           Summary: wineprefixcreate creates useless directories in "My
                    Files" directory
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: shell32
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: diafero at arcor.de


In my linux home dir, I have a symlink called "Eigene Dateien" (the German name
for "My Files") which links to the My Files directory of my windows
installation. This is automatically choosen by wine to be the My Files
directory of the wine bottle as well, which is really nice (though I don't know
how wine determines that^^).
However, wine creates two directories in there called "Meine Musik" and "Meine
Videos" which it assigns to "My Music" and "My Pictures" of the wine bottle.
First of all, I don't want wineprefixcrreate to modify anything outside of the
prefix t should create (it took me a while until I figured out it was wine
which constantly re-created these annoying directories). And second, the names
are wrong (if they were correct, I would not have noticed that behaviour as the
correct directories exist in there). The directories are called "Eigene Musik"
and "Eigene Videos" in the German translation.
I attached a patch which fixes the problem for me.
Version 1.0 is affected as well.
