Well Philippe,
you did a little too much, just to have a virginal wine installation. ;-)))

By default, any users wine directory is ".wine". Now, if you think your 
wine install is broken, simply delete ".wine" and the next time, you 
will start "notepad" (or any other windows program with "wine 
program_name" for that matter), your wine installation will be "straight 
from the factory", again.

Anyone heard of a microsoft office or visio version for Linux?

Kind regards
