Hi,
i want to reorg my directories and move (and rename) some .wine folder to /opt.
After moving and renaming the .wine folder some applications don't start again. A least, i found some .lnk files in c:\... with absolute user and folder names inside. 
I dont know if i misunderstand something or if something is misconfigured in my wine but until now i think that the C:\ / Z:\ devices are the highest level for the windows-world and access to linux files is via symbolic links.
If you use cedega, you can completly move or rename (with some minor changes in the config files) an installed windows-bottle. I have an installation at /home/db/.wine-t1 and want to move this to /opt/wine/railway. But there are entries like db and .wine-t1 in the .lnk files (.lnk was created by the applications installer).
What is my misunderstanding and why do windows programs know things about db and .wine-t1? I am expecting that they only know things defined in dosdevices, the trees under C: and so on....

Regards, Alfredo
