Surprisingly, no -- at least not for tmpfile() in msvcrt.dll
I checked on XP and NT4, and the msdn page 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vclib/html/_crt_tmpfile.asp
is correct -- the tmp file goes in the root directory.

MS must have changed where they put the tmp file. I guess you have the source
code with VC++, so you can take a peek. 
Alternatively
  $ WINEDEBUG=file wine encrypt-vc++.exe 
will tell you all about the files that get opened.

It's probably best to leave Z: mapped to unix \ 
In the default configuration of wine, the user will have her own personal c:,
and will be able to write to c:\, so you can simply make sure you start inside
c:, like this:

$ cd ~/.wine/drive_c && wine \path\to\encrypt.exe ...
