I should have told you that before, since I've realized that yesterday already.

Hopefully it isn't: you may not always want to expose the full directory tree to dear little John Rogue Windows program, not even in (by default) mostly read-only access... IOW, there should be a mechanism which allows to establish a temporary root mapping during winecfg configuration only. However this would require some explanation for the user, since it's not entirely obvious why a drive mapping that existed during configuration won't exist later on. But OTOH this shouldn't be a problem anyway if you clearly list all defined mappings in an obvious list and only have that temporary mapping available during the browser dialog. Andreas Mohr
