not possible because 'drive_c' is actually created when you execute wine
for the first time (or subsequent user creation) and thus...

$ rpm -qf /home/craig/.wine/drive_c/windows/twain_32.dll 
file /home/craig/.wine/drive_c/windows/twain_32.dll is not owned by any
package

is the only answer that one could ever have.

Seems as though it must have something to do with something that he
did/has on his Windows files/network or as I really suspect, a false
alarm and alterations caused by some anti-virus program and this is all
just mental masturbation of the kind that seems peculiarly unique to
Windows.
