You're wrong there, it's DRIVE_UNKNOWN, which is the autodetect thing
(I haven't looked into it in detail, but something is *correctly*
autodetecting your drive C: as a network drive).

This patch to mountmgr.sys forces C: to be DRIVE_FIXED when changes
are made to the config for it. It's probably not ideal in your
situation, as you'd have to make define_unix_drive() get called (this
happens when you apply drive settings in winecfg).

If you combine it with this patch, you should be able to ensure that
the C: drive type is set to "hd" in your registry.

I'm still pretty sure kernel32 isn't the right place for forcing drive
type. Maybe someone more experienced can comment?
