Cannot browse to c: on widows applications

[atvasco]

Hi,
I'm new to wine so I probably have missed somethingh on my configuration.

I installed Wine on my Ubuntu 10.4 laptop without problems.

Then I installed a Windows programme and ran via the Wine Programme load.

The programm started OK but when I attempted to browse for a file the path shown was my Wine path, (/home/vasco/.wine/drive_c/users/vasco/Desktop). I would have thought it should be C:\users\vasco

This gives me problems with scripts that I need to run under both MS Windows and Wine windows.

I checked my Wine Config and the devices seem to me mapped normally:

C: ../drive_c
D: /media/cdrom0
H: /home/vasco
Z: /

I also tried the Notepad application supplied with Wine and that also had the same problem when attempting File > Open ; no C: drive could be seen in the "Look in:" combo box drop-down.

Have I missed something here?

Cheers

The drop-down box doesn't contain any drive letters at all. The file open dialog is a weird mixture that lets you browse both by Linux path - or Windows path, if you select the "My Computer" option.

Thanks DaVinci.
I found that too but I wondered if there was a setup feature that could make the drop-down look and act like a windows drop-down. This would make common scripts easier to use.

I found a few otehr issues at the same time but I will put them in another topic.

If anybody knows a trick to fix this issue, I would be very grateful,

Cheers
