I belive Eric has already proposed being able to dynamically 'mount' parts of the Unix file system into the Wine file system as part of his file function rewrite.

However, we could always map Z whenever we need it (e.g. loading the debugger) with a slight extension of the SetVolumeMountPoint Win32 API. > * the ability to switch off drive letters showing through in the > directory chooser dialog, so it's less confusing to see this magic > letter appear. I believe there is a registry setting for this under Windows that tells Shell32 views to not display certain drives. I can't remember where this setting is though... Rob
