My previous reply was lost. There is not a winectl command, it is "wine control". Sorry for the mistake. "wine control" works fine. It is there where I can have a valid shortcut to run DS Manager. DS Manager is not a .exe or .com file. The shortcut created on wine during setup is: > env WINEPREFIX="/home/maurelio/.wine" wine "c:\windows\command\start.exe" "E:\SW\Windows\Tibbo\TDST_3-9-82\rundll32" shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL tdstui32.cpl,@0 > which does not work. The same created on windows is : > C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL tdstui32.cpl,@0 > Marco Aurelio
