I happen to agree with that sentiment, but Wine creates ~/.wine/drive_c and configures it as C:, for the sake of all common users this is correct. To force C: to be a fixed drive is not harmful in any case I can think of. It does not help if you set up wine with an installation in another drive letter, but that is a separate issue.

I think you should not hardcode the c: drive here. Something based on GetSystemDirectory(), GetWindowsDirectory() or one of their relatives would be better (not sure exactly which should be used).
