--- Comment #27 from Kenneth <kenneth.browne.ma at gmail.com> ---
Well, I got the problem resolved but WINE jargon kind of throws me, e.g. 
"CSIDL_RECENT folder will be automatically created upon WINEPREFIX creation" 

If I understand the rest of the comment, it seems to suggest that I should do a
fresh install of WINE (i.e. create a new WINEPREFIX) However I merely added the
Recent folder manually and solved the problem

What is CSIDL? I've read up about WINEPREFIX and as near as I can tell it means
one's WINE installation, which on my Mint laptop is found at ./wine in my HOME
directory. From some comments here and from a brief experiment using Play On
Linux it appears that WINE isn't necessarily installed in the same folder. I've
not used Crossover but guess that the naming convention would be different
there as well.

In any case, adding the Recent folder stopped scattering .lnk files everywhere
and after a couple of tests the .lnk files are ending up in
./wine/drive_c/users/username/Recent

My comment above was simply to point out that until I created the folder the
scattering of .lnk files was happening under my 1.7.13 installation of WINE.
Now it is not. 

Thanks for help.

Ken
