So:
1) Is it possible for Wine to have done what I suggest given my
mistakes?
Yes, that was true in the past and is true still. The difference is that
it is now much harder to configure wine that way, but since you have an
old installation ...

2) Anyone have any suggestions about what changes I could look for?
Wine can do just about anything. Files can be written, deleted, renamed.
I remember the "Program Files" directory and all of its subdirs renamed
to filenames with lots of $$$$ signs in it. Same in the windows
directory. Just the registry seems to be safe, wine never wrote to a XP
registry.
Before ever using wine again: remove that .wine directory and start
fresh and safe.
