 Maybe stating somewhere that files in ~/.wine/dosdevices/c
etc. are modified by Wine -- I didn't expect that.
I thought that these just set up some interfaces to have
the windows directories available to Wine, but I didn't expect Wine to write there.
I'll keep that in mind, maybe we can make it clearer.

Don't allow to change the drive mapping for C:\ in winecfg probably would be a good start.
Add some explaining text why (in general) you don't want to change it and explicitly say
that wine has (and needs) its own, separate windows installation (in C:\windows).

Perhaps better would be if winecfg checked whether the drive being mapped to had a Windows system on it, and popped up a big warning box if so. I hate having programs tell me I can't do things ;)
