Hi Andreas,

        I saw someone (Mike or Joachim, I think) at the list saying you 
have to shutdown the wineserver. It will overwrite the system.reg as soon 
it goes down. So before you make the changes be sure there is none wine* 
process running.
        Hope this helps. If not, write us again and we'll help you 
(sometime ago I run into the same problem but I can't remember the exactly 
solution I took  8-().

Regards.

Hi! 

I tried those steps but I ran into a strange problem. Whenever I started 
my notes client in wine, my system.reg - file was some kind of reset. alle 
changes, which were made are lost. How can I disable that? 
I do not find any global config-files on my system. I use some kind of 
outdated version of wine, becaus Notes 6.5.1 did not run on my other 
testinstallations. 
So how can I disable this rewriting of my configuration and where should I 
put global config-files? 

Thanks in Advance! 
Andy
