It's generally considered the wrong approach to map a "real" C: drive  
to Wine's drive_c.

That said, it's intuitive to do so, many people do it (intuitively)  
and running applications installed natively has some benefits. For  
example, you avoid installer hassles; for example, you don't have to  
install and maintain software twice.

Obviously, it would be a great enhancement to make Wine using and/or  
syncronising the registry of a native Windows installation. Please  
file a bug/enhancement report (http://bugs.winehq.org/) and include  
what you've already tried. "Exporting the registry" is beyond the  
average user's knowledge.
