You should be able to find your wine windows folder at file:/mnt/windows
I think that I may understand what you mean. If you have a win 98 system, depending on how wine was installed (ie; rpm vs. by source) wine will use the windows directory (fat32) to place/look for the application. However, depending on how wine was installed (again), often the wine "c" directory is placed in your home directory. You may not see this in a file manager. as it often can only be seen as a hiden file.
In my system, where wine created the folders in my home directory, "c" is located in /home/danleff/.wine.
Note the dot before the wine.
If this is the case in your system, then you can view the directory in Konqueror, by going to the top menu view--> show hidden files and you can then view this directory.
Again, it depends on the versin of wine, if you have a "valid" win 98 directory that wine can find, or if wine is installed as "stand alone" because you do not have a valid win 98 directory. Wine does not like and hs problems with Windows XP applications, as the dll fikes that are used to run the apps in XP do not play nice with wine.
