# 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 <a target="_blank" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)">Wine</a>, allowing you to launch Windows shortcuts on Un*x systems.
