That is pretty scary. Anyone know if there is any info on if it will only encrypt the c_drive folder that wine makes or the entire fs?

Isn't the entier fs exposed as Z: or so in wine? I know there's some way to get to the user's home directory which is probably good enough to cause essentially the same amount of pain.

There may also be links to your home directory as "Desktop", "My Documents", etc. See winecfg for these. And note that your registry files may refer to Z: (mostly for fonts, it seems), or even directly to files outside your Wine directory.

A good reminder to run wine as a different user...
