Which is best way to start Wine (.exe files) ?

[grandsatrap]

I am copying some application launchers from and old computer that had Wine on it, to my new Ubuntu desktop. Problem: There are at least 4 different ways of launching a Wine program. Can someone explain them to me and tell me which is the best way?

1. A whole ton of stuff

env WINEPREFIX="/home/griffin/.wine" wine C:\windows\command\start.exe /Unix /home/griffin/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/profiles/All\ Users/Start\ Menu/Programs/Notepad++/Notepad++.lnk

2. Call the program directly (and pass it parameters if need be)

/home/griffin/.wine/drive_c/apps/filesync/FileSync.exe c:/apps/filesync/writings.fsy

3. run Wine and pass the program to it

/usr/bin/wine /home/griffin/.wine/drive_c/apps/DU_meter/DUMeter.exe

4. set up a special launcher script

notepad

Any method which is more convenient to you

The 4th is ok but before running it make sure you export WINEPREFIX pointing to your installation so:

1) export wineprefix
2) run wine
