I'm not sure what the best method is.
Since there is a shortcut on the desktop already I could just copy that and edit it. That seemed to work, the editable boxes are:
Name Far Cry 2
Description
Command (I have entered the path and exe here)

There is no place for 'work path'??
There is also a tab for Permissions that has the 'Program is executable" ticked.
Where would I place the parameters, I assume at the end of the command?
I haven't tried it yet, there is no place to say run windowed.  |
Yes, place any command line parameters/arguments after the .exe
Sorry I forgot to mention that!
"Work Path" is you changing to the directory before you enter the command to start the game.
Example:
Entering everything in the "Command" field is same as being at the "C:\" prompt and typing
You may have to set Windowed mode in the game...
The main differences in the way the shortcut works is due to the differences in the Desktops, some have more "options" than others. I have ignored the "Work Path" in KDE and had the program run fine.
One last thing as I forgot which one you have, Which version of WINE is installed?
wine --version
or starting Winecfg from the menu, should tell you.
