The freedesktop.org menus are the most complex out of all operating systems out
there, and wine goes through a laborious process to make them.

Removing them is not simple. I believe wine does remove the .lnk files in
~/.wine/drive_c/windows/start menu and such, but the mapping between .lnk files
and freedesktop menus is currently one-way.

A while back I thought up a scheme where explorer monitors the .lnk menus and
the freedesktop menus and syncs them in real-time. But there are more problems,
like if you delete a freedesktop menu it will be recreated as long as the .lnk
file is there, unless you keep another list of created menus and don't create a
freedesktop menu twice, but you have to keep track of .lnk deletions and remove
from that list...

Yes, it's an incredible amount of work.
