The *feature* to disable MIME types and menus is an enhancement, since it can't
be done in Windows. One of the possible *methods* to get that *feature* (ie. by
disabling winemenubuilder.exe in winecfg) not working, seems to me to be a
separate bug, possibly even a regression as the comments here claim.

There are many other ways to get the feature if you're so willing, eg. delete
winemenubuilder, rename winemenubuilder, disallow Wine to write to ~/.config
and ~/.local/... with a AppArmor rule, etc.
