I am also VERY new to wine - and to Linux. I was already aware of how
to call a program via wine in a terminal window & perhaps the
original poster was also. I know how to create a shortcut in Windows
but a similar attempt in Linux did not work. <br>
<br>
My question (& probably the one originally meant) is: How do you
convert commands (such as the one you mention below) into a desktop
link in Linux to save calling a term & typing in the command?<br>

Wine will not show you Windows, but Windows Programs. Just install a
windows program using: wine install.exe (for example) and you'll get
icons (depending on your desktop).</pre>

If you don't get an icon, you can start your application with wine
~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\YourApp\YourApp.exe for example.
