Wine programs folder -> how to modify it ?

Post by DeusExM1 »

My wine programs folder shows a program that is already uninstalled. I want to get it off the menu because its really cluttering everything up.

The menu also lacks a program that IS installed. I tried adding it but it still doesnt show. Any ideas?

Only careful with that - those commands will remove all Wine menu entries:

You can try and recreate links with:

Code: Select all

find ~/.wine/drive_c/ -name "*.lnk" -exec wine winemenubuilder '{}' \;

Usually you need to check in ~/.local/share, specifically, check in ~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs
