Don't use winetools, please.  As you noticed, it does bad things to
your ~/.wine.
Or, if you do use it, please report problems to the winetools
developer, not here.

Yes.  Here's what I do:

# Fake IE per workaround in http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3453
wineserver -k
cat >> $HOME/.wine/system.reg <<"_EOF_"

[Software\\Microsoft\\Internet Explorer]
"Version"="6.0.2900.2180"
_EOF_
