exe program installed - *.lnk

Post by JohnLaar »

With my first Thread i also got a question. I am using Wine with some Progs i was taking over from old Windows Times. On of it is Mirc. After the installation i also installed the shortcut to desktop as i was used to from Windows.

In Wine/Desktop i now have two files.
1. *.lnk
2. *.desktop

My question now is how to execute this files?
Thanks for helping

Edit: My fault. Before i forget. I am running wine on OS X El Capitan

AFAIK, .desktop files don't work on Mac OS X and .lnk files don't work anywhere.

You didn't say where you got Wine from; if you are using the WineHQ packages, you should be able to just double-click the .exe to run it. https://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX
