# 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.
Coming Soon: a LinkExec installer for Ubuntu/Debian! stay tuned.
