ah. well that answers that one. Thanks John. I'm a bit curious where M$ 
is trying to go with there registry, do you know if win has a thread 
running as a kind of registry server?



-> noah
luckily when you export keys from win regedit. They are saved as a 
simple text file. wine
also uses a text file in the same format (for a normal install this is 
~/.wine/user.reg)  so adding keys from your win system here should allow 
the apps on it to run in wine.

note: you may have to change 'paths' in the keys to point to the right 
places.
