[QUOTE="Haravikk, post: 1041495, member: 51625"] I'd like to bump this to see if anyone has any ideas or sample scripts. I don't really know what I'm doing with AppleScript to be honest, though it seems like it should be simple enough I don't really want to have to learn AS just to get it done. Being able to double-click .exe files and then create a dummy drive for WINE are my two main wishes for making integration almost seamless, and IMO what they need for any binary distributions that come along in the future, as navigating to ~/.wine/ to get at your "C:" drive is a bit of a pain, and having to fire into the terminal to open an application is a bit too. The drive one is solved easily enough by throwing it in the sidebar and giving it a nice OS X drive icon though, but me being picky I'd prefer to see it under the devices heading :) Though on the plus side everything I want to run seems to run much better in WINE than it ever has in VMWare Fusion or Parallels, so it's been worth the effort so far!
