Right click on Applications and select edit menus. Tick the Wine menu (where you decide you want it as there's at least 2 places available).

Hi Kevbert

Hmm yeah..thats the problem I have deleted it from there !!! Why or how I did this I dont know .(must of been half a sleep). So the Wine is not in th edit menu. How would I go about adding it and what would be the command?

Probably the best thing to do is to go to Synaptic, search for wine and mark for reinstallation, then apply. There are four wine items that are displayed in the menus.

Hi Kevbert
Tried that earlier with no luck I'm afraid

OK. You can do this manually but may have problems with what icons are displayed.
Firstly you want to check if the commands still work in terminal
Here are some:

notepad
winecfg
xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c
uninstaller

These are the four menu items within wine. In each case they should run a wine application. If all goes fine, we can now generate some menus/items.
Right click on Applications. Select Edit Menus.
Let's create the Notepad menu item. Under Applications add a menu 'Wine' (without quotes). Now under Wine create a new menu 'Programs'. Under Programs create a new menu 'Accessories'. Under Accessories create a new item Application Name - Notepad Command - notepad Comment - A clone of Windows notepad.
Under the Wine menu create new items (all Applications) as follows:
Name - Browse C:\Drive Command - xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c Comment - Browse your virtual C:\Drive
Name - Configure Wine Command - winecfg Comment - Change application specific and general wine options
Name - Uninstall Wine Software Command - uninstaller Comment - Uninstall Windows applications for Wine
Hopefully you'll now have all working wine menu items.
