Derek: Please don't top post. It screws up the flow of the thread.

Bryann: As Derek said, forget about getting native IE to work in wine 
yourself. It's a pita. Also forget about winetools, it does wierd 
things to your install and is a great way to have the devs on this list 
flame you out of existence by mentioning it....

rather install ies4linux (google for the url), it doesn't disrupt your 
current install and works out the box. It uses your current wine 
binaries, and creates it's own fake windows drive, leaving your .wine 
very much alone. But, don't expect support from this list for it. YOU 
ARE ON YOUR OWN IF YOU USE IT.

If you really really want to know how to get native IE working, put 
these overrides in your ~/.wine/user.reg. I shamessley copied them from 
ies4linux:
