Just install a windows program using: wine install.exe (for example) and you'll get icons (depending on your desktop).> > 2.

You run a Windows app by calling (not as root) wine progname from a terminal window. For example wine winefile will run wines builtin file manager. To install a program you would like to use wine setup.exe Everything else (like mapping of linux directories to windows drive letters) can be read on the wine documentation at winehq.org. If you don't like to hassle with the wine configuration your can also use one of the automatic installers: WineTools or Sidenet. There is also "Frank's Corner" which is a good starting point for manual installations. A note to the automatic installers: They heavily change the default Wine-Setup so you will very likely not get any help from the Wine-Developers, but probably from the developers of these tools (for WineTools me on this list or directly).
