I was able to fix this by deleting all desktop objects pointing to Wine notepad from ~/.local/share/applications/

I also sent complainments to the packagers. I don't understand why anyone would use wine programs if there are better native ones available.

 find ./ -iname "wine-extension*\.desktop" | xargs -I {} -n 1 bash -c 'echo "Hidden=true" >> {}'

Code: Select all

The command above followed by 'update-desktop-database' will disable all the wine associations in the desktop files. You can always go back and enable the one or two that may be worthwhile by removing "Hidden=true".
