Prevent Office from creating *.lnk files everywhere
Ryan Kingsbury

When installed via the Crosstie, Office 2010 will create a bunch of *.lnk files in the same directory as any file that you open or edit. See https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15480#c17[https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15480#c17](https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15480#c17)

To prevent this, Open Crossover and go to Manage Bottles > Open C: Drive. Navigate to C:\users\crossover\ and create a directory called "Recent"

Now the *.lnk files will be put in there instead of junking up your working directories.
