The windows .exe files are run by the help of WINE application in Linux.
WINE stands for Windows Emulator.
Wine can be installed from the root login or even from your regular login.

If you are logged in as the normal user (not as root)... then follow these instructions for Ubuntu:

Goto Application -> Accessories -> Terminal



Open Terminal
We will use sudo (Super User Do).

Installing WINE in Ubuntu
Type the following commands:-

sudo apt-get install wine and enter.

It will ask for your password. Type the password and enter.

thats it ..you are done. The wine will be installed ...


Using Wine
Download the .exe file in linux.
Right Click and select the option : Open with wine windows program loader.
You can also goto Application -->Wine --> Uninstall wine software
" To install a new program ..................................................................... "

Click on the install button and the select the program you want to install......

Most of the windows programs run with WINE application, but not all.........

With a few modifications in the Windows Registry, you can replace the “start” text with anything you like.  So let’s get started.

Step 1: Modify explorer.exe

Yes, we are going to change Explorer, the backbone of your Windows XP, but don’t worry. Everything should be safe as long as you follow the steps closely.



As explorer is a binary file, we need a special tool to modify it. One of the best ones for this purpose is Resource Hacker.

There are of course others that will get the trick done, but we will be using RH. Install it and let’s continue.

As always before changing anything. you want to back up. So open My Computer and navigate to and look for explorer. Copy paste it to a safe location on your hard drive.
Now that you’ve backed it up, fire up Resource Hacker and find the same explorer.exe.




 When you’ve found and opened explorer in RH, navigate to
String Table -> 37 -> 1033.

The “start” value is on line 4, after the 578.

Change the text “start” to anything you want, making sure you keep the quotes.

Press the Compile Script button to make Resource Hacker put together the code.

Now click File and Save the script as explorer.exe. into C: \WINDOWS\inf or another C: \WINDOWS subfolder.


Note: make sure you choose Save AS, NOT just save!!

Step 2: changing the registry.

By now, you have a modified explorer sitting in the /inf/ subfolder, so we need to tell Windows to use that one, instead of the original one still resting untouched.

To do this, we need to make just one simple registry modification. To open up the registry, press start  -> run and type regedit.

In the registry editor window that opens, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows NT\ CurrentVersion\ Winlogon and look for the registry entry “shell”. Click it.




Change the explorer.exe to inf/explorer.exe or whereever you saved the modified explorer.

You’re done!!!!!!!!!!!        All you have to do now is reboot or log out
