Changing the windows file target properties?

Post by M408 »

Hi, in order to complete an installation, I need to change the "target" property as you would see in windows. I tried opening explorer.exe and changing it through there, but there is no option to. Is there any way I can change this? To start playing WarcraftII, I have to open multiple files from different directories at once. Since I can't edit the target properties through wine or ubuntu, I don't know how to do this? Thanks for the help.

Code: Select all

“/home/mike/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/DOSBox-0.74” 

Code: Select all

“/home/mike/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/WarcraftII/war2.exe” -conf “/home

Code: Select all

/mike/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/WarcraftII/DOSBox 0.74 Options” -exit -fullscreen"

What exactly are you trying to do?

The .desktop file has a specific format and does not support the same features windows' .lnk file does. But you can always write small shell script and point to it instead.

On the side note, why are you using dosbox under Wine? It won't work. Use native Linux version of it.
