Often, this is the default.  I've gotten most of these removed now, doing one at a time when I noticed them.  How do I stop this ridiculousness when I use wine on another account?


You'll have to manually edit the menus to remove entries that are already there. I use KDE, so I really can't help you with how to do it in Gnome; ask on your distro's support forum.

To prevent Wine from creating new entries, disable winemenubuilder.
