How do I use Wine?

[Goober]

Ok, this should be a relatively simply question, I think. Using the recent HowTo in the Customization Section, I successfully installed Wine. I even successfully installed a couple programs, one is a game, the other is some drivers and such for my WebCam. But, how do I run those programs with Wine?

I know that I type in "wt2" in a Terminal, and you can get to the WinTools menu, where you can select things such as Control Center, Registry Editor, Show Installed Software, Uninstaller, Simulate a Windows Reboot, and the like. I assume that is the menu that I use to run my installed programs, but how? Which option?

Thanks in advance for your answeer,

Goober.

Did you try just clicking on the .exe file ? If you right click it should give you the option of starting the file with wine...

If it works, you can add an entry to your menu :

wine ~/.wine/the path to the file or wine /the path to your windows partition.

Remember wine is far from working with everything.
