I can't update shortcuts in wine menu after M$ Office installation. There are no links to Word, Excel and others I have installed. I've tried to install uTorrent - no shortcut was created. How can I create shorcuts automatically?

#2

I created my own uTorrent shortcut as mine did the same thing when it installed. I did this by right clicking Applications, clicking Edit Menus, navigating to the Programs folder, created a new one named uTorrent, then created a new launcher with

env WINEPREFIX="/home/muffin/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\utorrent\utorrent.exe"

in the command field. Obviously you would replace 'muffin' with your username, heh.

So did I. But I want to do it automatically. :) Is there any solution?

Uhm, I believe most of the time it is done automatically, couldn't tell you why it doesn't sometimes though. /shrug

Things are strange with wine. After another one reinstallation shortcuts have appeared in Other menu.
