explorer.exe

Note: This article provides information about a portion of wine which is not yet fully implemented. This article will need rewriting as Wine evolves over time.

explorer.exe currently (07 Mar 2008) does one of two things:

• Provides an alternative method of starting winefile. Simply put, it accepts parameters similar to the explorer provided by Windows then uses them to call winefile.

• Creates a named "virtual" desktop which programs can run under.

Note: This topic only covers the command line explorer.exe tool. For information about the explorer process see WineExplorer.

Usage

  wine explorer [/n] [/e,] [/root,object] [/select,object] 
    /n              Opens in single-paned view for each selected items. This is default
    /e,             Uses Windows Explorer View
    /root,object    Specifies the root level of the view
    /select,object  Opens parent folder and selects (highlights) specified object

OR

  wine explorer /desktop=name[,widthxheight] [program]
    name            name of the desktop (used when launching other programs under the same desktop)
    [,WidthxHeight] specifies the size of the desktop to create (example 800x600)
    program         If supplied explorer will attempt to launch the program.

    Example:
      wine explorer /desktop=foo,800x600 winemine
