Well, I guess I have (almost) never started a wine app by clicking an 
icon. Perhaps I am atypical.

I don't see an easy way to do that, as the registry seems to be rather 
picky. If I stick "~" in the registry, it comes up in 
C:\windows\desktop. How it came up with that I don't know. Trying "HOME" 
(the label in config) comes up in "My Computer". For that matter, so 
does "D:".

Only a precise entry, like "D:\\" works for me, so I don't know of an 
automatic way to tell the registry where home is.
