[code]
cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files
[/code]
will get you to the Program Files directory. Also
[code]
cd "$HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files"
[/code]
should also work.
What will NOT work is
[code]
cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program Files
[/code]
as this is interpeted as:
cd $HOME/.wine/drive_c/Program
