wine users - Apr 2011 - Getting filetypes to open with an EXE

I have a program I wanted to run a certain file type in, but since it's an
EXE file, Ubuntu doesn't detect it as an installed program.

I'm guessing I have to run some sort of command-line through Wine's
program launcher, but I'm not really sure what.

EDIT: To be more specific. I'm trying to make it so it runs in this program
automatically when I double click it. I forgot to mention that...

no idea what type of program or file types you are using.  You can probably do
some web searching and find direction on how to make those registry entries.

thats not what is needed... he just needs to set up a normal Windows program
file association within Wine, so when he does say... wine myfile.ext  wine will
open the right program and open the file myfile.ext.  There needs to be a FAQ
entry on how to make those, but I haven't felt like writing it up.  Its very
similar to the link you gave when using winebrowser though, just substitute in
the real program instead of winebrowser.
