Some more info here:

https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#How_can_I_prevent_Wine_from_changing_the_filetype_associations_on_my_system_or_adding_unwanted_menu_entries.2Fdesktop_links.3F

Scroll down to "6.6.3 How do I associate a native program with a file type in Wine?"

Otherwise you might get better answers if you ask your question on the winehq forums.

It's a pity to give up, I would have helped more if you'd provided the information that was asked for.

Eh, not a big deal.  Got other things going on to take precedence.  Thanks anyway.

Thanks for all your help.  I tried the suggestions from the link, but then Linux Lite wouldn't open anything with Wine associations so I reverted to letting wine manage associations via winecfg.

I don't have time to mess this anymore lol.  I'll just right-click .HYP files and open with wine and let .XEX files open automatically.  No biggie...didn't realize this would be such a ball of twine.

Don't use .HYP files very much anyway...just a small inconvenience.

Right-click on XEX file and choose  "open with other application", then look for and select the program you want to associate with this type of file. Wine programs might not show and you will need to click on "use a custom command" and browse to the windows exe file. To run with wine you must prefix what you find with wine,
eg wine " /home/USER/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Someprogram/someprogram.exe" and also don't forget to enclose the path in "" because of any spaces in folder/file names.
Then tick the box for "Use as default for this kind of file". Close the dialogs.

Repeat for a HYP file and that should associate those files with the different programs.

Ok, I just did that for both program types.  But the strangest thing is even after manually setting them as you described, they still are linked.  If I manually set Altirra.exe to open .XEX files, the .HYP files will try to open with Altirra.exe also.  And if I then set WinGuide.exe to open .HYP files, then .XEX files try open with WinGuide.exe.

A little. Just a tip when asking for support, please provide as much information as possible. For example, a quick Google of WinGuide.exe lead me to https://osdn.net/projects/sfnet_theguide/ is that right? So we'll need the actual links and names of the primary software. Most of us won't know what these are or where they come from or what they do.

Hello,

No, sorry that is not the program.  These are two windows programs I am running using wine.  They don't even have installers.  I just copied their files over from my windows partitions into the .wine folder Program Files.  I just need to know how to unlink their file associations so I they don't try to open each others files.

You'll need to tell us what programs they are each for. Cheers.

.HYP files need to run with WinGuide.exe and .XEX files need to run with Altirra.exe

Does this help with getting the knot untied?

Hello timbuck2,

I have not used Wine.
On this link it talks about using PlayonLinux  for solving some problems with Wine - 

https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/installing-software/installing-newer-version-of-wine-not-in-repository/msg45332/#msg45332

PlayonLinux is available in Lite Software.

Hello, I have two type of files XEX and HYP that use two different Wine programs.

But when I try to open a HYP it uses the program for XEX.

If I change the file association to the program for HYP, then the XEX tries to use that program so it is a loop.

Is this a wine issue or linux lite issue?  How can I straighten this out?
