Create a Gnome Launcher that runs the Wineconsole command you use to execute the .bat file. However, it may be easier to wrap that in a bash shell script and then start that with a launcher. The script would be something like this: ===================batscript========================== #!/bin/bash wineconsole batfile.bat ===============end of batscript======================= Make batscript executable: code: chmod u+x batscript and put it somewhere where its always available. The Linux convention is to create a 'bin' directory in your login directory and then add it to the search path by putting the line export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:. in the .bash_profile file in your login directory. You'll have to logout and login again for this to take effect. Now test batscript by running it from the Linux command line. You may want to use a 'pause' command as its final action so you get a chance to read its output. When you're happy with it, create a launcher that uses 'batscript' as its command and references your icon image. Martin
