Wine configuration editor
Usage
winecfg [options]
Overview
winecfg is the Wine configuration editor. It allows you to change several settings, such as DLL load order (native versus builtin), enable a virtual desktop, setup disk drives, and change the Wine audio driver, among others. Many of these settings can be made on a per application basis, for example, preferring native riched20.dll for wordpad.exe, but not for notepad.exe.
If no option is given launch the graphical version of winecfg.
