One. NEVER bump a topic.
Two. It may take DAYS to get reply as we are volunteers and it is a
major holiday here in the United States.

Three. A more friendly reply (what is lacking in this forum!) would have been :
Since you are new to Linux, you maybe can't know (and haven't figured out yourself) where Wine stores its files. Your user profile /home/kitsos contains configuration files that are hidden. Hidden files on Linux have a dot in front of the name. You have to display hidden files first (in Nautilus ctrl+H) and you will find the folder ./wine (so-called Wine prefix). This corresponds to a Windows installation how you are used to it and from there on it should be straight forward.
Inform yourself about everything else on http://wiki.winehq.org and http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ

This depends on the system being used as well. On my Mac, the files
are stored in the user 'space' directory.

However, if you are looking to edit the registry, the regedit program
that is used with Windows also exists for Wine and is used in the same
manner. It is best NOT to manually edit the .reg files.

Patching and building Wine is described in the FAQ as well as several
Wiki pages.

Lastly, it does help to do a search of the forums before posting.
This subject has been discussed at length.

One additional comment: Some Windows based programs store files in
their 'own' directory. This directory will be constructed under your
user 'space' directory. For instance, a program that I use called
eSword creates its own directory and would be located at
/home/<username>/eSword If you do not find your files in the
/home/<username>/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/<program name> directory,
look for this type of directory.
