Re: [Wine]internet explorer 6 destroyed my directory !!

Well,

I have to disagree. A native file system is wine's roots and there is no reason for the limitation. Up until recently it was the only option. I have been doing it that way since the 16 bit versions in 1996. Over that time this dual access mechanism has supported testing and the moving off of apps as they became available on wine. There is also no reason wine should behave any differently between a local and a native file system.

That said the original post still holds. Is this a known issue? Is it a wine issue? Is it an ie. issue?

This is a major biggie; it is a dual boot machine and wine uses the

Never ever do that! This will very likely not work and will have side
effects with your native windows installation. You can use the *data* on
you windows partition but the software should be installed under native
wine. Sometimes (as with notes) it makes sense to install on windows
first and *copy* the installation directory to your wine directory.
