Change files and viewing files in Wine.

Hi I'm new to wine and I am wondering how i can view and change the files in wine's virtual Windows XP.

Main problem: I have successfully installed Final Fantasy XI online through wine @ wineffxi.org. But some of the functions that I like that is provided by windower (a third party program) are not there. I'd like to install windower to enhance my Final Fantasy XI functions.

Help me out! Thanks!

I am not sure to understand what you are asking for, but wine's drive C: is in ~/.wine/drive_c/ by default.
~ is your home folder and .wine is an hidden folder.

From command line you can go there by tipping :

Code: Select all

cd ~/.wine/drive_c

In a graphical environment you have to show hidden files or (for Gnome) press ALT+F2, it will show the "run" box and type in it :

Code: Select all

nautilus ~/.wine/drive_c

i guess what i'm trying to ask is, I'm trying to change files in Wine's Windows Platform. I need to add a new folder and install the program into that folder. I will also need to add a couple of files into the folder.

Install it like you did the original program:
$ wine setup.exe

And to edit files manually in a file manager, they're located in
~/.wine/drive_c/
