That is the case about ordinary users. > There's no real reason to change the temp directory, Actually, there are some reasons for power-users. One of them which hits eme is the low emtpy space on mounted partitions. When I am installing some big software I usually change the %temp% dir by editing ~/.wine/config to point it to the FS wich has enough free-space. When a new disks and partitions on my machine are going in and out I need to do the same. While using "config" file is fine, it doesn't feel for me comfortable to use "regedit". :-P > and if an app needs a different PATH the installer for that app will > change the registry itself. If users really need to change them, IMO we > are doing something wrong. Or users may be using not an ordinary softw. or may be even developing / debugging it inside the Wine, IMHO. I haven't been changing the %PATH% dir too often, but there are some console win32 utilities, made by me and such which have no installer. So, if I need to run them from the batch file at wcmd, I basically need to modify %PATH%. Again, this may be need by power-win32-users, who basically can't stand the GUI of "regedit". :-P PS maybe an alternative for the "winecfg" may be some cmd-line option like the "/advanced" to make such functionality available to user at run-time?
