Using wine and 8.10.<br>
<br>
Wine puts some win32 applications in the "Other" list in the<br>
Applications menu and I can't seem to remove them.<br>
<br>
I've been looking in my home config files too. Anyone know how to remove<br>
items from the Menu like this?<br>
</blockquote></div><div><br>Unfortunately, the xfce 4.4.x menu editor is known to not be very useful.<br><br>One approach would be to modify the .desktop file for the application(s) that you want removed from the menu. This [1] forum post does a pretty decent job of explaining what you can do. Please note that I'd recommend modifying the .desktop file, and not removing it.<br>
<br>Xubuntu will have a functioning menu editor with the upcoming release, Xubuntu 9.04. (This is because Xubuntu will include Xfce 4.6 for that release).</div></div></blockquote><div><br>I thought there wasn't a menu editor for 4.6 yet (but that Brian *might* work on that... For 4.8?).<br>
<br>What I do is, in a terminal, " sudo mousepad /usr/share/applications/wine-notepad.desktop" (for Notepad), then add "Wine;" to the Categories field.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
