How to get Wine Windows Program Loader to open a program automatically?

[GameGuru]

Right now if I double left click a program it launches Archive Manager and gives me an error. Only way I can run programs in the "Browse Crive" is by right clicking, choosing "Open With Wine Windows Program Loader."

Can I have this done automatically? I would also love to make shortcuts on my desktop of these wine programs. Can I?

I am using Ubuntu 12.10. Thank you.

Yes, you just have to change the default application to open the file. Just right click the file, click "Properties", Click the "Open With" tab, select "wine" and click "Set as Default".

Tried that, only Archive Manager is shown. If I click "Show other applications" it lists about 20 applications, none of them being Wine?

Did you install wine through the repositories?

[GameGuru]

Yeah and they work when I right click and choose Wine. When I type Wine this is what I get:



Is this installed correctly?

Looks like it, let's compare a few things between our systems, what does your mimeapps.list look like and do you have a wine.desktop file?

cat ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

ls /usr/share/applications | grep wine
