To: Ubuntu user technical support <ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com>


 I use a program via wine it is an exe I have to go to that folder and
right click on exe and select wine from the menu.
Is there a way I can add some shortcut or some thing in Application
menu Opening wine and the selecting program is a 2 step process that
I reduce this to only one click and open the program in wine in one step.

This link should serve your purpose. OR follow the process below:

You can select wine as default program to open .exe files.
Change the default "Open with" program for a file type


   -

   In *Nautilus*, right click on the file and choose Properties from the
   menu that appears. The *Properties* dialog opens.
   -

   Click on the *Open With* tab. A list of applications appears.
   -

   Select the default application you want for the file type. If the
   application is not on the list, use the *Add* button to add the
   application to the list.


After that you can create a soft link to that file using *`ln -s*` command
to that file(.exe file).
That's from shortcut perspective.
