You can create a small shell script, and use that to run your application each time, for example: #!/bin/sh cd /root/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/MiniReminder exec wine MiniReminder.exe This way, you can just click on the icon of this shell script, or put a link to it on your desktop, and run your program. I also notice that you appear to be running as the user "root". That is never a good idea. Any single mistake can mess up your entire system, because the root user has the ability to delete any files or change any configuration. It is better to create a normal user on your system, and use that for everyday work. -- Anand _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
