Hi Jo, I don't think I have the right stuff installed to check this for sure but I seem to remember that there are settings in the config file that allow you to tell wine whether to follow sym links or not. Here's an example of one comment I found in the CX Office config file: [wine] ; Wine doesn't pass directory symlinks to Windows programs by default. ; Note that if a directory symbolic link points back to itself, ; then enabling this option will crash programs (typically installers) ; that do recursive lookups of a whole directory tree. ;;"ShowDirSymlinks" = "1" ;;"ShowDotFiles" = "1" Hope this helps, Mark On 7/7/05, linuxgirlie <linuxgirlie@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I am setting up wine for use with students in a school. > So far it works as a generic system in /usr/share/windowsapps/.wine > When the student logs in they get a sym-link created in their area that > points to this....all is working fine.... > > But when they go to save in say Microsoft Word, they get access to the > whole .wine folder by following the sym-links.
