I wonder if it's ever possible to 'secure' wine; like for a user not being able to delete 'explorer.exe' or mess with the dll's.

I've heard of apparmor (i'm running ubuntu), and chroot.

What would be the best method ?

How about this: set the files to a different user (chown), and set the "group" and "other" rights to "read only" (chmod 644).

That way, the current user can only read the files, but not modify them.

You can use the filesystem permissions of the host OS to "secure" the files.
