[fixed]steam starts automatically when i run wine

Hi!
I am having a really strange problem. It occurred today (i changed nothing at the system) and i don't get where it comes from.
It comes up when i want to start warcraft3, which - as i said - worked perfectly until today. Now it goes like follows:

hauke:~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/Warcraft IIIfixme:process:SetProcessShutdownParameters (00000100, 00000000): partial stub.
err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP ntlm_auth was not found or is outdated. Make sure that ntlm_auth >= 3.0.25 is in your path.
err:ntlm:SECUR32_initNTLMSP Usually, you can find it in the winbind package of your distribution.

err:systray:delete_icon invalid tray icon ID specified: 1

hauke:~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/Warcraft III

The only thing that happens now it that steam (!!!) starts - steam!
i tell wine to start war3.exe and it starts Steam.exe i a completely different directory (it would be ~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/Steam/Steam.exe )
wtf?!
Why?
Can anybody help me, i don't get this...besides i wanted to play wc3 tonight

[update] it seems, wine starts Steam always when i start it - no matter which .exe i execute

Thanks in advance, Hauke

Re: [fixed]steam starts automatically when i run wine

In the last version of wine they added support for Run and RunOnce (registry stuff), I believe steam has added a registry entry under Run which makes it start whenever you invoke wine.

If you run "wine regedit" and search for "steam.exe" you should be able to find it under a "folder" called Run. Just remove the entry (make a backup if you're unsure) and it should be fixed.

EDIT: Some googling suggests it's under "HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run", I can't remember if that's correct since I haven't used Windows in quite some time, but it looks right.

HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER

EDIT2: Some more info about Run/RunOnce in the latest WWN - http://winehq.org/?issue=339#AutoRun/RunOnce%20support.

Re: [fixed]steam starts automatically when i run wine

yeah, that did it, thanks a lot!
steam has a function "autostart steam with windows" - maybe i accidently clicked it...
