Excuse me I was not present to discuss this. I am coming from Bug 31194.

Well it's nice mine got closed, but issue really wasn't solved.

Seems like adding correct variable to profile and exceptions to libraries
listbox fixes this issue, but it simply DOESN'T SOLVE the problem. 

**User should have a clearly understandable choice to completely disable
integration in the correct winecfg menu, if he/she wants!**

How many of not so advanced users (think ubuntu), who would still like to send
wine integration to hell, are gonna mess with their shell profile or manually
add exceptions to libraries listbox?

Really guys, don't come on me with windows crap a la: "on windows aps can't
disable integration bla bla"

Let crappy wine explorer handle it's own verbs and associations, but don't push
on normal users this mime db disturbance  of the HOST shit.

More and more users are really unhappy with wine overtaking their native
desktop, and just because they are not as vocal as me right now, doesn't make
the problem go away.

Most of them were completely clueless that winemenubuilder is the culprit, and
one of my acquintances even removed wine altogether to sort this shit out.

Please fix this by providing normal visible and sensible option and give users
choice, not everybody wants wine to overake his computer Microsoft fashion.

What wine does with it's registry is it's problem but don't crap my mime
acssociations please.

I tolerated this shit 2 years but now i am really fed up.
