How do I get WINE with its desktop

[lawrencek]

How do I get WINE to show a desktop where I can place files and short cuts? Also with a proper start menu?

I am sure that I got one years ago when I last looked at WINE.

Thanks

It's in winecfg on the Graphics tab (Emulate a virtual desktop).

From the WineHQ Wiki

Requesting the desktop named "shell" starts a virtual desktop which includes a start menu and remains open even if no programs are running inside of it:

Code: Select all

wine explorer /desktop=shell

I got the explorer one to work
