How to access the Wine directory from Dash

Well it might look like I was not even paying attention to what I was asking here but it just came to me to type drive in the dash and what do you know, look at this:

enter image description here

The Browse C: Drive option appears and you can even drag it to the launcher. So it not only does work with Dash but you can also add it to the launcher to speed things up when I want to go inside the C: drive. Love Unity more and more.

    Before Unity I could go to the main menu and navigate to the "C:" folder when Wine has all the programs. Using Unity and the Dash how can I get to the wine directory quickly since right now what I am doing is going to Nautilus, pressing CTRL+L and addint .wine to the location bar so it looks something like /home/cyrex/.wine and then clicking on the drive_c there to enter the real directory I want.

    Is there a way to do it?

    I do not mean the launcher, I mean the DASH search tool. So when I look for the wine directory it shows me some kind of access for it. For example if I type wine it shows winecfg, winetricks and wine uninstall. But how to add a way to show "Drive C" or something to it that points to the wine directory directly.

    Typing in simply "c" points you first to Browse C: Drive.
