wine users - May 2006 - Is it possible to run programs with different wine config files?

I want to run some games with wine desktop, but i also have to run some
programs without it. It makes me crazy to change all the time the settings
in winetools.

Any help much appreciated.
Thx

Use winecfg and you can store virtual etc desktop settings on a per 
application basis. This has been possible since wine went to a registry 
style config rather than ~/.wine/config. I dont know what version that 
started at...

Though it is a bit cryptic how. Notice when you add an application in 
the Applications tab of winecfg, and click on it, the title of the 
window border changes to "Wine configuration for myapp.exe". So now
when
you go to the Graphics tab, the settings will effect only that application.

Actually, even the config file allowed per application settings that. 
Not that it really matters at this point... ;)

Somewhere at or after wine-0.9.11. The per application desktop was 
remove. All run on an explorer desktop or all don't. The option for a 
command like argument to set the desktop was mentioned.
