About:
Prefix - is an record in q4wine database, which contains wine settings, all user setup ed icons and Wineprefix directory.
General prefix options:
| Option name | Description |

| Architecture | Specifies the Windows architecture to support. It can be set either to win32 (support only 32-bit applications), or to win64 (support both 64-bit applications and 32-bit ones in WoW64 mode). The architecture supported by a given Wine prefix is set at prefix creation time and cannot be changed afterwards. When running with an existing prefix, Wine will refuse to start if WINEARCH doesn't match the prefix architecture. Note: you need x64_86 system and Wine build with win64 support. |
| Mount point | Mount point directory. It might to be a real directory. |
| Device | Device letter for mount point. |
