Maybe stating somewhere that files in ~/.wine/dosdevices/c
etc. are modified by Wine -- I didn't expect that.
I thought that these just set up some interfaces to have
the windows directories available to Wine, but I didn't expect Wine
to write there.
I'll keep that in mind, maybe we can make it clearer.
Don't allow to change the drive mapping for C:\ in winecfg probably
would be a good start.
Add some explaining text why (in general) you don't want to change it
and explicitly say
that wine has (and needs) its own, separate windows installation (in
C:\windows).
Perhaps better would be if winecfg checked whether the drive being
mapped to had a Windows system on it, and popped up a big warning box if
so. I hate having programs tell me I can't do things ;)
The point is that just changing the mapping (for C:) in winecfg won't
really work. You would have to copy over the stuff from the old location
or run wineprefixcreate again.
You would only lose something that doesn't properly work anyway.
Which imo is a good thing. I wouldn't hate programs for that ;).
Besides, I don't really see much practical use in moving the C: drive.
And you can still do it manually if you really need it.
