When I installed wine, it made a drive_c directory with windows system
files in it and mapped that to c:, as you no doubt know. I assumed
that the dlls files in drive_c/windows/system32 were the built-in
libraries as they were part of wine (wine put them there).

So the files stored in the drive_c (in my case anyway) are the
"native" libraries. And the "built-in" ones are actually part of the
code of wine itself, and not stored in my user directory.

I would not have realised this on my own any time soon.

Thankyou for your answer. I understand now.
