linkexec

LinkExec is an open-source rewriting of Windows launcher called when double-clicking a Windows shortcut (*.lnk file).

This rewriting is especially useful as it can run on Linux via Wine, allowing you to launch Windows shortcuts on Un*x systems.

New: now contains an auto installer to register as a Linux App!

linkexec is written by Nicolas Mougin (mougino@free.fr).
