Default Making Wine shortcuts...

I want to make desktop shortcuts to a Windows app in Linux. Because of my small (60GB) hard drive and a 2GB program, I'd like to just mount my Windows partition and run the apps out of it using Wine.

I have media/disk as the Windows drive, and it's set in Winecfg to associate C: with /media/disk. Using winefile, I can pull up C:, navigate to Program Files, and run games and apps normally, and they'll get the right path.

However, when I use the "wine" commandline option, it doesn't work.

"wine "C:/Program Files/LucasArts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/GameData/jamp.exe" " results in the game console saying it can't find the maps or data directory, because Wine is showing it as being in C:/windows/system32 or something like that.

How do you go about fixing this?

The program might not be able to run under Wine.

Or, I'd just get rid of that setting in Winecfg and set the launcher command to be

Code:
wine "/media/disk/Program Files/LucasArts/Star Wars Jedi Knight Jedi Academy/GameData/jamp.exe"

That's what I tried originally, but the program would load and then say it couldn't find a config file. I fixed it though, had to make a shell file. First, cd to the directory of the EXE, then just "wine jamp.exe" and it worked.
