Good afternoon everyone, I had a rather silly question to ask reguarding how I can access programs through ex.

Normally when it is an application or program you can just create a short cut and place it on the desktop to point it directly to the program and it will work.

But what about for things that are run out of the terminal? For myself I am woudering how I can create a shortcut to directly load up warcraft 3 in x without having to open a terminal and type wine /home/username/.wine/c_drive/program files/wacraft 3/frozen throne.exe everytime i wanted to start this program?

Would this be scripting as opposed to creating a shortcut? If so could someone point me in the direction to find out how to go about scripting or some basic lessons on scripting? or correct me if I am way off base of what i need to do?

I did do a google.com/linux search for how-to's and faq's on shortcuts and such but most always pointed to the basic shortcut on desktop by pointing directly to the application and did not give much detail on how to go about doing it for applications that are run through the terminal.

I do not need a direct answer on how to do it more of a pointer in the right direction with information on how i can trial and error my own solutions. Thanks for your time.

Create a new application shortcut, and replace the command parameter with you wine command
"wine /home/username/.wine/c_drive/program files/wacraft 3/frozen throne.exe" it should work fine. No need to script.

Well, on KDE, all I do is right click on the desktop, then click "Create New" --> "File" --> "Link to Application". Then give it a name and on the third tab there's a line that says "Command" and you can either browse for a program or just type in a command (like wine "/home/username/.wine/c_drive/program files/wacraft 3/frozen throne.exe").

Thank you! It worked out perfectly.
