HOW TO INSTALL A "WINE MENU"
====================================================
Here is how to create a menu for windows programs
or a "wine menu" - that updates automatically.
download the menu from here;
http://portableapps.com/
The menu and "the entire platform is open source."
In the directory /root/.wine/drive_c - add a subdirectry called programs and add the portableapps menu here;
/root/.wine/drive_c/programs/portableappsmenu
Add what ever windows programs you like to in the same directory;
/root/.wine/drive_c/programs/"program"
However do not make subdirectories as the menu will not find these programs.
To shut down the menu;
Its hard to see the button to shut down the menu as it is buried behind the tray, so call up the menu from the tray button. Once the menu appears, Right click on the tray where the menu is and click "close".
Thats it now your off and running and NO more directory surfing
to start your windows programs in Linux!
