I want to make a link to this program:

wine /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Program/Program.exe

It doesnt like the space in 'Program Files' so how do I get round that? I thought adding %20 would work instead of the space but it doesnt like that :(

You escape special characters with \

So it would be

wine /home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Program/Program.exe

You can also use "...", like

wine "/home/username/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Program/Program.exe"
