I shudder to mention it.. but Win2k supports mounting partitions as a directories under NTFS (like unix mount). Does anyone know where that functionality resides? So instead of just having: c: = ~/.wine/c_drive d: = /mnt/cdrom ..... You could have c: = ~/.wine/c_drive c:\My Documents\ = ~/Documents c:\Program Files\ = ~/Windows Progs d: = /mnt/cdrom Then wiping your ~/.wine would preserve your files, and with those apps that don't require registry settings would just work without a reinstall (Pegasus Mail is a good example).
