If a program needs something different, use a different prefix: export WINEPREFIX=.newprefix cd $WINEPREFIX/path/to/program wine progname Put the above lines into a small script file, say $HOME/bin/myscript with: #!/bin/bash as its first line, make it executable: chmod u+x $HOME/bin/myscript make sure that bin is on the search path by adding: export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin as the last line in .bash_profile and you can run the script from the command line or point a desktop launcher at it so you can click an icon to run it.
