I have WINE installed and I have figured out how to use it to run Windows programs from their installed directories in Windows from Linux in my dual-boot configuration. I now want to keep these programs in my application panel. So, what would the command be to run something with WINE?

Does it show up on your panel now? Right click it and choose to lock it to the panel, does that work? I don't have Linux booted right now and don't run WINE often sorry if that's off the mark. There is this question that might help [Invoke a WINE-installed application from the command line] (askubuntu.com/questions/65487/…) – JimLohse Feb 3 '16 at 2:46

make sure that the program has 'executable' permission
chmod +x game.exe
You can create short cut files(desktop files with your desired image as icon) using the steps mentioned below link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UnityLaunchersAndDesktopFiles
Above link even explains, how you can add your programs to launcher panel

I know :) There is a program called alacarte that allows you to easily do that in GNOME and Unity – It's Willem Feb 3 '16 at 4:19
