Where you install Wine is not relevant to this question (so just install
it to the default location).
Make a symbolic link in /home/username/.wine/dosdevices to your /home
directory and call it d:
When Windows programs then install to or try to read from the D:\ drive
as accessed by an Open or Save dialog dialog, the dialog will be showing
you the files and folders in your /home directory, like so:
$ la ~/.wine/dosdevices
totaal 0
drwxr-xr-x 2 motub users 120 mei 19 22:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 motub users 192 mei 15 17:55 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 motub users 10 mei 3 13:00 c: -> ../drive_c
lrwxrwxrwx 1 motub users 11 mei 19 22:35 d: -> /home/motub
lrwxrwxrwx 1 motub users 1 mei 3 13:00 z: -> /
As you can see, c: is a link to ~/.wine/drive_c (the ../ indicates that
you move up one level from the level you're currently at); d: is a link
to the user 'motub''s home directory, and z: is a link to the / partition.
Hope this helps,
Holly
