You can also configure wine just by editing the wine.conf (or was it wine.cnf ?) file that should reside somewhere under your home directory (~/.wine/wine.conf ?). It's a "text file" so just use your favourite text editor. Also read the man-pages of wine if you need any information about the file (though it's quite straightforward).

Winecfg is, as far as I know, just an automated way of altering the file -- so you don't have to write content to the file yourself, but the app "asks" you the options.

EDIT: also, by editing the file by hand, you'll probably get more choices than using the config app.

AFAIK, the newer versions of wine do not use this file anymore. Configuration information seems to now be stored in wine's registry.

You could try renaming the .wine directory to something else (like old.wine) and then run winecfg. This should create a new .wine directory with a fresh configuration.
