Yes, I understand this.

ok.
However the point is that some programs like installers needs to run
a few windows program like regedit.exe (office 95 needs it) and notepad.exe
(as when displaying a README file at the end of the installation).
I don't want to add a copy of window's real notepad.exe and regedit.exe
(unless necessary) in a windows free wine c: tree.
So, if I move regedit from the program/ dir to c:\windows and rename it
to regedit.exe (as a link to wine) and mv the .so file too renaming it to
regedit.exe.so will work?
Or win32 intallers uses some file extension association (mime/type) api in the
registry to know which app should be run?
If the later is true, can I access these file associations in the registry?
