uninstallation and control panel applets to the "Running Wine" part of the users guide.

<title>Basic usage: applications and control panel applets</title>
<para>
Assuming you are using a fake windows installation, you install
applications into Wine in the same way you would in Windows:
by running the installer. You can just accept the defaults
for where to install, most installers will default to "C:\Program Files",
which is fine. If the application installer requests it, you may find that
Wine creates icons on your desktop and in your app menu. If that happens, you
can start the app by clicking on them.
</para>
<para>
The standard way to uninstall things is for the application to provide an
uninstaller, usually registered with the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel
applet. Unfortunately as of the time of writing, Wine doesn't provide an
Add/Remove control panel applet, so you'll have to run the uninstall manually, either
from the menu or from the command line.

<para>
Some programs install associated control panel applets, examples of this would be
Internet Explorer and QuickTime. You can access the Wine control panel by running:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine control</userinput>
</screen>
<para>
which will open a window with the installed control panel applets in it, as in Windows.
</para>
<para>
If the application doesn't install menu or desktop items, you'll need to run the app
from the command line. Remembering where you installed to, something like:
</para>
<screen>
<prompt>$</prompt> <userinput>wine "c:\program files\appname\appname.exe"</userinput>
</screen>
<para>
will probably do the trick. The path isn't case sensitive, but remember to include the double quotes.
Some programs don't always use obvious naming for their directories and EXE files, so you might have
to look inside the program files directory to see what it put where
