Unfortunately, you can??™t change the display so that it shows only executables. However,
the free and powerful Windows file manager, PowerDesk 5, works nicely (although somewhat
imperfectly) in Wine, as you can see in Figure 11.3.

Crossover Linux
Crossover Linux is a commercial spinoff of the Wine Project. Codeweavers is a company
founded by several Wine developers that first created the Crossover Plugin, allowing
Internet Explorer plug-ins to run in all the major Linux browsers. This project was
followed up with the Crossover Office suite, now called Crossover Linux because of the
expanded variety of Windows products, including games, it now supports.
