wine always re-autodetect drives on xubuntu 18.04

Asked by nohk.two

Recently I installed wine on my xubuntu 18.04 and I found I cannot remove drives by winecfg. After I removed the drives I don't need by winecfg, wine always add them back next time winecfg or any .exe program runs.

I tried to manually remove the symbolic links of the drives (e.g. d:: d: e:: e: ...) under ~/.wine/dosdevices, but they will be back when I run any .exe or winecfg program.

It seems that wine will do the autodetect (I mean like winecfg->drives->autodetect) when the launched winecfg or windows program tries to explore filesystems.

I want wine to honor my configuration that do not add any drive back. How should I do ?
