is there no easier way?
no parameter or anything for wine executable or global variable?

It's just that if i must use the script to remove them, then i have to install the program manually anyways, find all the associated icons, and .desktop files to delete them

and seeing as i have other .desktop links on my desktop and other apps in the main .wine bottle, this is not something i'd like to do
