How do I associate exe files with Wine?

[Michael V. De Palatis]

Wine should be there. If you use the terminal, you should at the
very least be able to run 'wine whatever_the_program_is.exe' just
fine. In Nautilus, when you right click and select "Open With Other
Application" you can enter a custom command. In this case, you
should just be able to enter 'wine' (no quotes) and it should
probably work.
