Wine should never write to the "real" registry on the Windows partition. It makes all changes to the registry files ~/.wine/*.reg.

I am concerned that the 'With Windows' mode makes the C:\ drive my real Windows C drive. This would potentially make new installations write to the real registry, wouldn't it? That's scary to me. I do not want Wine to have any effect on a correctly working portion of a dual boot machine like this.
In general, if you are using Wine in conjunction with a real Windows partition (though as Tony mentions, you should probably avoid that with WinME), then you probably should always do program installations in Windows rather than in Wine. Else when you boot Windows, it will not have access to the registry entries made by Wine, which went into the Wine only registry files.
