I think / always shows up on the Desktop. However, after I removed the Z: drive
entry in winecfg, when I browse directories outside of ~/.wine/c_drive/, I can
see all the directories in the file system, but I cannot access any files or
write anything.

The only part of the unix filesystem that I can access from Wine is my home
directory, because ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/username/Desktop is
symlinked to ~/Desktop and ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/username/My
{Documents, Music, Pictures, Video} is symlinked to ~.

So a malware program can delete everything in your home directory, but it
shouldn't be able to touch any other part of your file system.
