***My custom AOS script that makes use of AmigaOS’s Pref and Env-Archive: i.e. duplicating some of Window’s user profiles features (e.g. swaping mupliple copies of ENV with corresponding user name. user name also link to drive locking ).
Use the search feature to list down *.exe (programs) within the Windows and subdirectories.
Have a browses through WINE/WINEX's source code for some hints...
Check the following
C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386
C:\WINDOWS\Fonts
C:\WINDOWS\Help
C:\WINDOWS\inf (hidden) //Driver's inf files...e.g. 3DFX (PS; I don't even own 3DFX card)...
