I managed to create a link in ...dosdevices/unc to the share (as in http://www.winehq.org/docs/wineusr-guide/misc-things-to-configure#AEN725 ) but I can not see any way to access it in that form from my windows programs. Most of these require you to select a directory from a list, not enter a share such as \\xyz\folder In ubuntu 12.04 the samba share is also not in the traditional form of '/xyz/folder', but is 'folder on xyz'. I don't see how this fits with 'unc' format path names. So, can anyone explain the wine instructions to me?
