I know, I know! 
It's a little technical thou, but I'm sure you'd like to know, so..
When you run dink.exe, it makes a file in your windows folder called "dinksmallwood.ini". Yeah. Try to open that file (just double click it, should open in notepad) and check out the second line. What do you see? Aah, the path to your dink smallwood folder. What for? Well, it was for the autorun function of the original dink smallwood cd, to check if dink already was installed I think, and if so, where. Anyway, what the FrontEnd does, it checks this file to know where your dink smallwood folder is. This is so that you can install the front end anywhere on your computer, and it will still find your folder and run the game correctly. So what happens if the dinksmallwood.ini is NOT there? Well, the FrontEnd gets confused (I'm a little let down about the programmer not having some sort of error message here telling you it can't find your dink smallwood folder or telling you to just run dink.exe once, but yeah.. some people.. ) and just shows you C:\'s contents. Now don't ask me why, I dunno what the heck for, as I said, I'd make some error show up and tell you what to do.
There scratcher, you now understand?
