Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Gnome Menus

Wine sets up a dummy C:/drive in your home directory. It is hidden so you
have to enable View | Hidden files. The folder is called .wine. When you
upgraded the settings are loaded and they are in the hidden folders.
Obviously the wine folder is scanned, but since Wine is not installed, the
dummy C: drive is not operational, even though the links still exist. If you
install Wine, they would work. Otherwise delete the .wine folder and you can
edit out the menu by right clicking on the Ubuntu button and choose edit
menu. Make sure that you save before leaving the menu editor or they will
re-appear.

BTW, it is not 9.4 but 9.04. The number before the decimal represents the
year, 2009 and the 04 represents the fourth month, April. Since .4 is larger
than .10, it would make April after October which cannot be. Sorry for being
picky, but there is no sense Canonical having a logical numbering system
with meaning if it loses its meaning through lack of proper use.
