Hello everybody, I think Wine is a great project. I am still new to linux (running Ubuntu, for that matter) but I have started to delve into rights management and security, so I have a question concerning the setup of Wine: Is it really advisable to link so many of may Linux home folders to the simulated Windows environment? If a windows virus deploys within the simulation and tries to delete *.doc files, for example - a lot of such viruses exist - then it could do so within my home directory on the Linux side, correct? So I tried to delete all the preconfigured links between Wine/windows-directories and my "home" directory. the relevant lines are just blank now (I use winecfg from my ubuntu/gnome applications menu). However, when I tried a windows program (old game Jedi Knight 2, btw), it asked whether it should create a link on my desktop. Which I told it to do, believing that the link would end up within home/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/... /desktop Which it did, but it also showed up on my linux desktop (home/.../desktop). So the link is still between windows desktop and linu desktop is still working, right? And what about the other links to my home directories, are they working too? How can I switch this off, and should I do it? Is this dangerous or not?
