similar to: .lnk files

Is it possible to execute a program using the shortcut files (aka .lnk) that are generated for the Start Menu et. al? I realize that many linux distros populate the Gnome and/or KDE menu automatically, but it would be nice to be able to launch a shortcut from the command-line. Is that currently possible, or does some parser need to be created? Thanks, - Dave

Good morning, thank you for your informations! I'll try them one by one. But as I can see now, I have to change my ways - batch-files are a maybe the best alternative, that I haven't thought of!

Whenever I open Microsoft Word (2003), I get this warning two times---and then must manually 'OK' it twice before I can proceed in Word (a pain to do):   "The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'R.lnk' refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again."   Perhaps I linked Word

Can anyone help me with how to create a windows shortcut in wine? I want to create windows shortcuts on a Linux box that windows clients can then access. I'm trying to use wine to allow me to create the shortcut on the Linux box. I'm using the wine-0.9.31 version of wine on Fedora Core 5. I've tried two approaches, both fail.

Hi Samba-gurus, I have a problem with samba 2.0.0beta4 on solaris 2.5.1 (samba 1.9.18p10 behaves the same) : 1. I have a ordinary text-file on a samba-share (foo.txt). NT4.0 sees the samba-share (\\sun100\tmp) as a netdrive with the letter K:. I've done a 'net use k: \\sun100\tmp'. 2. I can doubleclick in NT4.0-explorer on foo.txt and notepad comes up correctly. 3.

Hi, I am using Wine 1.3.20 to run the Office 2007 suite and it works almost perfectly. But each time I open an Office file (docx, xlsx, ...) a .lnk is created even if I do not press "Save". Another .lnk is create on exit. And a few others when I save the document as far as I can tell. They are all created in the current directory. This problem looks a lot like bug 15480 - Saving files

Hi all, I'm having an odd error with Samba 2.2.5 and I'm wondering if anyone can give me a hand with it. About a month ago, I upgraded from Samba 2.2.1 to 2.2.5 on RedHat 7.2 and, since then, my Win98 users have been receiving "No such file or directory" errors during login. The upgrade was installed using John Terpstra's RH 7.2 RPM package. Users are set up with roaming

Hey guys, I was curious about something. When Wine installs a program, that creates a shortcut after installation, it is usually placed on the desktop (as it would in Windows). So how I can create the same type of shortcut which will use the .exe's inbuilt icon; as Wine does? I know how to create a shortcut but i'd manually need to search for a .png file to use as that shortcuts icon.

When I install some Win32 application using WINE, it creates associated menu item file for it, located at ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/***Program title***/***Program shortcut.desktop***. Well, inside this file I see option named "Icon", where path to some icon is set. Sometimes this path points to some PNG image file, but sometimes it points to something I don't have a

I read somewhere that directly running an app in Wine without first cd-ing to it's folder wasn't the best thing and that I should right a bash script to launch them if I don't wanna constantly cd to the right directory. Wine creates Shortcuts in the menu for me for all the apps I install through it. My question is, are these shortcuts the OK way to launch Wine apps or should I still
