First enter in your home folder.
Then click "View" from the Menu and Click "Show Hidden Files"
spot the folder names ".wine" (the hidden folders name starts with a dot ".")
enter there and you will fine the "drive_c" Folder.

Go to
Applications>wine>File Browser * I think is what it's called * it's the windows explorer thingy anyway. But like the windows 98 or earlier looking version of it.
