Windows explorer in wine

Post by sainath »

In windows,explorer process creates a desktop which can have desktop icons and so. ReactOS also implemented like that. If we use ReactOS explorer in wine it works but not fully.
Is there any chance that wine support that feature ,where we can have a desktop and host icons and a file manager?

If we run wine explorer in wine,it opens a winefile.
If we run ReactOS explorer in wine, it opens wine desktop and places host desktop icons,MyComputer etc on the desktop
I am talking about that feature.Is it possible to have a desktop like that having MyComputer,MyDocuments if possible Start menu etc?

It's not implemented in Wine...use ReactOS explorer, or submit patches
to implement it in Wine.

No. Wine is not a VM and is not meant to create a totally separate desktop. Virtual desktop mode excluded as workaround for full-screen apps.
