[Wine] Who am i? and where is C:?

[gcampton]

Hello,

I just started using linux a cpl days ago, still trying to wrap my head around things and of course not willing to part entirely with windows :P

I'm a student studying Software dev (c++, Java) and Database design.

I installed Wine just now, and notepad++ i directed installation to C:/Program Files/Notepad++, under install ticked %APPDATA% as i assumed Wine would actually create a Pretend C: directly in usr/local/bin or something to that effect...  %APPDATA% is config file stored in local directory of notepad++

after reading through the entire FAQ, i went to the folder as i wanted to install plugins into notepad directory, i noticed the config file was sent to my desktop, wierd, i noticed that all the files where the FAQ or docs (i read them both) said they would be were not...

so wtf? where is C: exactly? does it exsist? and if not then how do i install plugins?
