[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
