    If you are using wine installed from the repositories then wine related files is stored in a folder called ~/.wine

    Windows programs are stored within this folder - for example ~/.wine/drive_c/program_files/Internet Explorer

    You can start a windows program in a similar way as from a command line in windows but prefix it with wine

    for example

    wine "c:\program files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe"

    Thus if your divx called (for example) divxplayer.exe is installed - for example in ~/.wine/drive_c/program files/divx

    then you can start your wine divx player

    wine "c:\program files\divx\divxplayer.exe"
