This machine is not bootable in windows. The windows-native directory that's
on it was copied over from another machine. But see below.

Actually, the "real windows-dir" IS my win-dir in my wine.conf, the /windows
directory already is my C drive, and so on. So if I'm reading this
correctly, wine picks up its registry from whatever is configured as the
wine-dir in wine.conf rather than defaulting to the registry files in my
~/.wine directory?
