I'm not sure since I don't track the exact times of changes, but it's no more true currently, even if it was in August. The current format looks like this : [Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders] 997650225 "Common Desktop"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Desktop" "Common Programs"="C:\\WINDOWS\\" "Common Start Menu"="C:\\WINDOWS\\Start Menu" "Common StartUp"="C:\\WINDOWS\\All Users\\Start Menu\\Programs\\StartUp" Anyway, you are supposed now to import a basic registry by installing Wine using wineinstall, or if you use a rpm by using regapi on the provided template file (winedefault.reg) If these files are missing in your package, it's a bad package. You are better off using source in most cases with an alpha software like Wine. Note : regapi syntax is obtained by running it without parameters. Gerard
