             Bug #: 33087
           Summary: After uninstall file associations to notepad still
                    persist
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: longsincedark at lavabit.com
    Classification: Unclassified


After uninstalling wine I noticed that, although most traces had been removed,
my file association list still included notepad for almost all text-type
documents. I did manually remove the association for each, but it was a
monotonous process. I would have expected the "uninstall" to remove all traces,
except user created files &/or directories.

This is not a bug on how WINE operates, and I will be re-installing. But it
seems only appropriate that an "uninstall" is just that.

Please consider, I used WinDONT's for many years and dealt with this problem of
uninstall remnants. For most, it may be a minor or trivial issue. But some
users, like myself, have qualms about software that leaves too many remnants
after uninstalling.

Keep up the fabulous work!
