Daniel, thanks for the reply.  But now for the really dumb questions.
What is $WINEPREFIX/dosdevices/ ?  I guessed it was a directory or
configuration file, but I cant find it searching with file manager.  Is
it something else entirely ?

Also, is this what everybody else who uses Wine had to do ?  Why doesnt
the Wine Configuration tool work ?
