To me, this is a regression. I remember long ago using winecfg to define labels
and to declare a given directory hierarchy on my HD as CD-ROM (e.g. Syberia2).
This created the files .windows-label and .windows-serial there.

Thus IIRC Vitaliy is wrong in comment #2:
>And winecfg does not write anything to those files. Nor does Wine.
Winecfg tries. The log says:
trace:winecfg:apply_drive_changes 
warn:winecfg:set_drive_label unable to set volume label for devicename of
L"E:\\", label of L"xyz"
trace:winecfg:PRINTERROR error: 'Access denied'
I don't know why it gets that error from directory "/dev/shm/foo/bar".

Nowadays (I tried 1.0.1 and 1.1.10), labeling within winecfg does not seem to
work anymore, and I'm writing .windows-label by hand into the relevant
directory when I need it. OTOH it *sometimes* seems to work.

By contrast, setting a serial number succeeds in creating the .windows-serial
file. (Don't clear the input field in 1.1.6 - 1.1.10, or winecfg crashes. I
just submitted a fix to wine-patches to fix that).

Regarding comment #7 (using the registry instead of .windows-xyz), I see it as
an valuable but distinct enhancement request, while the current issue is IMHO a
regression.
