    Usually Ubuntu understands the EXE type and does it automatically, but you can always type
    Code:
    wine <path to application>
    Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

    As a shortcut?

    As the command for your shortcut to execute (not sure how easy this is to find in gnome but in kde it's simple so I assume gnome is too) type
    wine "path to the exe"
    Obviously, change path to the exe to the address of your program.
    Do use the quotes though, as windows allows spaces in file names and unix doesn't, and you'll probably have a couple of spaces in the path in the fake windows directories.
