I have successful installed wine and ran the wine whatever.exe to get the program I want to install. When the install was finished the program came up fine. Now since I closed the program I can not find it.
So my question is how do u find programs you install with WINE and run them?
And how do you uninstall programs you installed with wine?

Depending on your setup you may find that entries have been created in your KDE or Gnome menus, on my system the programs are listed under wine>programs.
You will find a hidden directory in your home called .wine (the leading . means that it is hidden). Enter this directory (cd ~/.wine) and list the contents with ls. One of the directories will be called something like fake_windows or drive_c....this is where programs are installed to. To run one: $ wine ~/.wine/fake_windows/Program\ Files/whatever.exe
