During the install, I never install to the default location of "C:\Program Files", but always to the "F:\" drive, allowing the application to additionally create its own company name/game name folders (so MS Office would be installed to "F:\Microsoft Office\whatever"). In this way I keep all my applications in one easily-accessible place, even though they all have their own prefix.

@motub - this is an interesting idea!  Two questions, just so I'm clear:

1) You're accessing your "F:\" via assigning it in winecfg to /media/Gamestuff or you're accessing it by changing the WINEPREFIX as described in this wiki page (http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-faf9617c53607e583f6e6ff70a4ac9522d490faf) that dimesio pointed out to me?

2) Are you just installing the applications/games on top of themselves to your f:\ mount point as different users?
