No No No. "The default config file contains  has the floppy  located at 
/mnt/fd0 (Where it actualy is depends on your distro) likewise for your 
CD-ROM.  When tools/wineinstall starts up regedit to install the default 
registry it starts up wine. wine reads the config file and cannot find 
those directorys (since thats not where your CD-ROM and floppy are 
mounted) so it ignores them

The "L" tells me that the string is "unicode" as opposed to "ASCII" As 
for why "L" I do not know.
