Hey,

I'm having a bit of a problem with my wine install, or perhaps a combination
of wine and my ignorance of Linux. I'm using it to run World of Warcraft
mainly (using the install on the Linux partition, tho I have a copy on
Windows aswell), but one thing that bothers me is that my settings never
seem to be saved. I went through the output the terminal generates and this
is what it says:


err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory
'L"c:\\windows\\profiles\\sander\\Local Settings\\Temporary Internet
Files"'.
err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory
'L"c:\\windows\\profiles\\sander\\Local Settings\\History"'.
err:shell:SHGetFolderPathW Failed to create directory
'L"c:\\windows\\profiles\\sander\\Cookies"'.

>From what I can gather the thing doesn't have the right permissions to write
away any settings. Is there any way of changing this short of changing the
permissions on the folders manually, and if not, which folders do I need to
alter? Also, when it says 'L"c:\\windows\\profiles\\sander\\Local
Settings\\Temporary Internet Files"', where does it try to create that
folder? In the wine folder, some other folder on my Linux partition, or on
the actual c: drive? Thing is, I don't see why it would need to write on the
c: drive if the WoW version I'm running is located on the z: drive anyway?

Anyhow, any help would be appreciated. I've signed up for the mail list but
have had no email confirming that yet, so I'm not sure if I will recieve
your replies. Please also send a copy to dfs213jh9 at dodgeit.com if possible.


Thanks in advance,
