c: folder in CX lost

I have lost my c: drive folder to CrossOver games, and I can't find it, I have searched everywhere on my Mac, even re-installed to CX 7.2.2, testing with CX 8.0, but the application still can't find the folder. This is very annoying for me, since I want access to my c: drive folder through CrossOver, being able to browse the screenshots and build templates for Guild Wars. When I try to open the link to view the c: folder, it only redirects me to whatever Finder window I have open, and I can't find any workaround for it. Only workaround I found on these forums was to open with Paralells, which I can't, since I already got a Windows emulator. :p
Tried to remove the application with AppCleaner to make sure I got everything removed, and I still can't get the c: folder to open back up after reinstalling CrossOver. It is a bit important for me, since the gw.dat file is around 3.90GB, and I don't want to let the laptop to run all night with another -image command. There is no game folder in Application Support/CrossOver/Games etc. And I can't find anything via Finder.

I submitted this as a ticket, but I want to see if others got the same problem too.

Edited to add a small update. I finally found my c: drive through the run command, but it still doesn't show up when I try the Open C: Drive in Finder.

More edits: Got the issue solved, and it was much folder digging, if anyone ever lose their shortcut to c:drive:

There's a bug in the Finder where it sometimes just refuses a request from other programs to open a given folder. I think it happens when the folder had previously been opened in that way, the Finder has cached some info about the folder, but then the folder got deleted and recreated -- the Finder tries to use its cached information, but it's no longer correct.

If you relaunch the Finder (Option-right-click on its Dock icon and select Relaunch from the menu), that will probably fix it. Logging out and back in almost certainly will.
