I noticed that wine installs programs in my home folder- Is it possible to share a program running in Wine between all users on my system?

thanks,
BM

You could create a symlink of the install files between the .wine folders between users. Of course this will also mean you will have to manually add menu entries for each other user.

EDIT:
Did a quick forum search and I think this HOWTO (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=917422&highlight=multi+user+wine) appears to be just what you are looking for.
