Hi Andy, I think that's overcomplicating things a bit (especially for someone new to Wine & possibly Linux.) ;) The easiest/ simplest thing to do is (from command line and where c: is the fake windows drive): > wine "c:\fileToLaunch.exe" On the Linux desktop, using that line above in creating a Launcher will suffice. No scripting required!
