And now my caffeine filled brain just quoted SW: "Jar-Jar, you are to be puuunished"

 

This is my Desktop to sort things out. Note, this MBP boots to Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur, so there's one per Installation.

When I do Command + Up Arrow on the applications folder which is now on my desktop , it takes me to iCloud Drive 

 

Ok, well the Goal was to end up in the root of your drive, so double clicking on your desktop icon will suffice.

Ok I did double click on the Applications folder once it is on my desktop 

I have two things showing 

Path of exile and Wineskine

Big Sur is the custom name I changed my Drive to. Yours might say something like Macintosh HD. Sorry, I personalize a Ton.

Oh no, you can delete that shortcut. It won't help. We were just trying to take it out of the list on the left of the finder so that we could replace it (in the list on the left of the finder window) with the one at the root of your drive.

 

Wait, only do that if the folder has the arrow on it (IE: it's a shortcut)!!

If they wouldn't have split the Applications folder into different places this would have been a thing.

Sorry, I thought the path made that one obvious, BUT not everyone understands how these things path. >.<

 

I Wanted you to open that and drag the Applications folder to the left pane in the finder AFTER you Drag+Hold the existing one over an empty area.  😛.    So like, Click -> Drag Left like an inch and hold -> You see an "X" under the name indicating it will remove -> Let go and Poof, it's out of the list, but it Shouldn't create something on the desktop.

It probably helps to know that you can show the path bar at the bottom of every finder window like so (must have a window open). >.<

At this point 

I am more worried about causing more damage 

I am not sure we know exactly what the problem is so we don't know exactly what to do to get a solution 

You feel me ?

All we need to do is wipe the Finder preference file for that folder to fix the Auto-close. Dragging the folder from the root to the list on the left creates a new entry that should fix the corruption. But, it wouldn't hurt to make Apple do some work too. They'll help even without Apple Care most the time TBH. They just won't always cover problems on 5-10 y/o Macs.

Oh yeah, help out Manga for sure (knows way more than me I'm sure about Mac overall, but doesn't have an M1 it seems). "I" am lucky enough to still have normal income.

If you know how to do it, it wouldn't hurt to run "First Aid" on the drive using the "Disk Utility" app. But you can let Apple do that if they remote in.

Confirming that the .privatewine folder is created the Moment the Launch CoH.app is first run (activating Wine installer). This is the location that the Wine will aim at for the purposes of the game to function correctly.
