Now, would it help if I actually burned the files to a CD and ran them from there? If so, since this is .exe files I have to work with, how will wine be able to open the autoplay file from the CD,or would the autorun.exe file even open automatically on linux?

Burning the cd under gnu/linux does not need an *.exe.
Running the CD from a gnu/linux system doesn't need an *.exe.
...
But running an *.exe within gnu/linux you need wine. Often times (the HQ doesn't preset libraries to run as comfortable as under M$Windows --good manners to them) you have to "tune" it up yourself to load libraries "at your own risk" and that's the purpose of giving you that 'wineconfig' when it is installed. You are given the choices there to run it native or not. The libraries are there. Make your decision. It is your own system. The option is offered by wine; but the decision to concede a portion of your security and system integrity is but your own decision.

Has anybody else had to deal with this?

Everybody. If he is using wine.
Selling out your freedom and security within Gnu/Linux to hungry M$window .EXE's through wine is just as stupid as getting rid of dogs only to buy another puppy --for sooner or later that malpractice will end up the same state where M$window users left --virus, security breach, sloppy tasks, etc. Games? buy a video card for an old machine, use a standalone xp for that purpose and keep it away from Gnu/linux machines.
Wine has issues with Autoplay files?
