If so could the same method be used to make Wine Wordpad show up in the accessories directory? I know I have it installed because I can open .rtf files with it but it isn;t under the wine menu in applications.
You didn't mention what desktop environment you are using (gnome 2.0 or unity), but the method is pretty similar: create a new menu launcher entry using the command line syntax "wine <windows path>".
So for example in gnome.
- Right click 'Applications' menu - select 'Edit Menus'
- Select 'Accessories' on the left pane - click 'New Item' button on the upper right
- Name: 'Paint'
- Command: 'wine c:\windows\system32\mspaint.exe'
- *Comment and Icon optional
- Click OK and enjoy.
