Exclamation Help accessing WINE-Installed exe files


I rescently installed WINE on the Linux partition on my LapTop.

At first, I couldn't figure out how to access the WinInterface, still thinking it worked the same way as a video game EMU where you have to open the app first.

Then I just clicked on some EXE Installation files on my 1Gb USB-Stick Drive, (Jnes Emulator and WinZip), and presto, the installer booted right up.

Okay, now for the tricky part:

I installed the software to the virtual (C: ) drive (C:\Program Files\etc...) and it worked without a hitch, but now I am stuck with a delimma:

Where in the heck to I go to access the "virtual" C: drive that has all of my EXEs?

I did a file search for directories labeled "WINE" and also for "Windows" and "Program Files", but no relavent results.

I figured a workaround by starting the WinZip Installer, then right-clicking, and "Explore" then cancelling the setup after I opened the Jnes Emulator, which works fine.

Do I need a copy of "Explorer.EXE" in order to browse my newly installed windows apps under "WINE" ???

(Z: ) drive installers to the Linux partition don't really work well. Can't seem to copy & paste files to and from the fake C: drive and the Linux Z: drive either.

Also, I noticed that there is no (A: ) drive or CD-ROM drive. I have some disk image EXEs that need an (A: ) floppy drive in order to write the disk.

Please help...

BTW, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with any real FAT32 HD partitions, although I do have one.

first of all wine is not a OS it is just a program to run win32 apps, to find where C drive is mounted open up a terminal, then as root type updatedb , after that has finished try "locate c_drive" or "locate windows".

hope that helps
