Prefixes
Because there are so many different possible configuration of Windows, a good practice is to divide Wine compatible applications into Prefixes. Prefixes Isolate Windows configurations into their own mini-file system. This allows applications that run on Windows 9x based OSes, and Windows NT based OSes to remain segregated.
