Hi.

  I think I might have ran into an bug in the way Wine
imports/handles Windows registry keys.

  When I installed Windows (before I installed Linux
or even knew about Linux) I didn't specify a
user/password combo.  As I understand it this results
in all users being 'the same' and all reg keys going
to .Default user.

  I found when playing with Wine that the keys that
where in .Default got moved to my ~/user.reg file in
keys like the following:

[geo\\.Default\\AppEvents\\...]
[geo\\.Default\\Software\\...]
etc

  That's fine, except that Wine is looking for these
keys at keys like the following:

[geo\\AppEvents\...]
[geo\\Software\...]

  As a result many of my apps have lot their settings
until I go through the user.reg and remove the
.Default\\.

  Is this a bug, feature, or am I missing something. 
I have for the time being removed all the .Defaults\\

Thanks.

George
