Hi Rick, et al, I think (but am not 100% sure) that the GUI defaults to looking through your home directory on startup. So, somewhere in `~/rick/.wine/dosdevices/...` you have symbolic links that are looped.
I think you might be able to circumvent this problem by finding `.basexgui` - it would probably be close to wherever you started the GUI from on your filesystem. I think you can edit some of the PATHS there and that may help? Again, I'm not sure. HTH!
