How do I launch with Start/Run ??

[keith frost]

command line:
cd to the path/location of the setup.exe file and then
run:	$ wine ./setup.exe

alternate:
some graphical filemanagers like konqueror allow you
to launch files with a certain extensions with an
assigned application.  in this case you would
associate all files with an exe extention to wine.
