Hi Andrew,

http://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXSession#Autostarted_applications_using_lxsession

This describes how to start things automatically in LXDE (Lubuntu)

It is much the same for all desktop environments.

You make a folder (if it doesn't exist already)

~/.config/autostart

where ~ is shorthand for your home directory (/home//username/ )

Then you save a desktop file in that directory.

Here are the really in depth details about those files.

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/

The program

lxshortcut

can make a simple desktop file pretty easily.

If you installed the program in wine, it should automatically create a 
desktop file for that program, which should be hidden in:

~/.local/share/applications/

if you find the wine desktop file for that program, just copy it to your 
~/.config/autostart

This will now 'just work'

If you have more questions please just ask!
