Re: [PATCH] [RFC] Make drive C always a "Local disk"

Also, Drive A: and B: can be used for network shares if you don't have a floppy drive, but this will break floppy drive support. In general, it isn't a good idea to allow Drive A: to be a network share, but since few modern machines have a 5 1/4" floppy drive anymore, Drive B: is up for grabs as a

Re: [PATCH] [RFC] Make drive C always a "Local disk"

It is definitely possible for Drive C: to be a network share on all versions of Windows starting from Windows 95. This does not exempt Windows XP/Vista/2k3/2k8. In fact, a public library in Indiana that I used to go to before I moved has all their machines set up this way. It takes a LOT of tweakin

Re: [PATCH] [RFC] Make drive C always a "Local disk"

Drive C: is not necessarily the truly central drive. I have seen Windows installs that installed on D: and have C: as a permanently mounted network share. To assume that drive C: is always what it is... is blasphemy. However, Wine does make this assumption, and probably the patch would be appropria

[PATCH] [RFC] Make drive C always a "Local disk"

This patch should fix 17619 for new wineprefixes and other cases where C: is created. The logic is that C: should never be registered as a network share, which is the issue in 17619. It was suggested as a response to a previous patch that this should be relative to %SYSTEM% or something along those
