[SOLVED] Alternative way to run programs

Post by 909MJOLNIR »

Instead of always doubleclicking on files to run, you might be able to do something like this:

1) find the windows EXE program and select it.
2) do "make link" (symbolic link or whatnot)
3) move the saved "link to program" to wherever you want it, like a collection folder
4) rename the "link to program" to what you need; notice it's icon
5) doubleclick that link instead of using the wine syntax

I hope this helps.
it's been working for me this way.
It usually works for Linux programs too.
