windows normally uses drive 'C'
this shouldn't matter though!
this is what I use in my '/ect/wine/wine.conf '   though!

[Drive A]
Path=/floppy
Type=floppy
Label=Floppy
Serial=87654321
Device=/dev/fd0

[Drive C]
Path=/win98         my winows partition! (mounted for access via linux)
Type=hd
Label=MS-DOS
Filesystem=win95

[Drive D]
Path=/cdrom              my cd rom partition!
Type=cdrom
Label=CD-Rom
Filesystem=win95

[Drive E]
Path=/tmp         my /tmp directory (it is required 'ala' windows temp dir)
Type=hd
Label=Tmp Drive
Filesystem=win95

[Drive F]
Path=${HOME}  my linux /home    dir (needed if you want to use file selection
' within wondoes apps) 
Type=network
Label=Home
Filesystem=win95

[Drive G]
Path=/win    my additional fat32 logical drive!
Type=hd
Label=MS-DOS
Filesystem=win95

i'm not up on on networking, but the 'flie://' seems a little too windows like
to me!!!!! maybe just

'wine /gold/c/windows/calc.exe'

would do! you can either use unix file format wit the '/' or the windows format
with the 'c:\' not a mixture of both! '  \\ ' is windows NT (i beleive) ' //'  i
don't know!

you must get /wine.conf sorted first though...... the man pages are good. just
persevere!
