------- Additional Comments From juan_lang at yahoo.com  2006-06-12 10:55 -------
This is by design.  The applications call the ShellAbout functions (see
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms647731.aspx ) and expect to display a
dialog containing version information about the version of shell32, in addition
to their own version information.  shell32 is the Wine one, not the MS one, so
we must display Wine's version information, not the MS version information.  See
this text:

"Note that the ShellAbout function dialog box uses text and a default icon that
are specific to either Windows or Windows NT."

Substitue Wine for "either Windows or Windows NT" and you'll see that this is
what we must do.
