I think you can also just right-click on "Applications" menu and choose "Edit menu". Same thing i think.

Good luck and regards from

The best way is to find the corresponding file in
~/.local/share/applications/wine
and delete it. The menu editors can't really get rid
of menu entries, they only hide them, which can be
awkward later (say, if you reinstall the wine app)!

I've tried the right-click on "Applications" menu and choose "Edit menu" - but this deleted the entire wine menu together with the sub menu's.

I have uninstalled wine using add/remove programs and re-installed it again - but still wine does not appear in the applications menu.

Perhaps it is hidden.
Any suggestions to get the wine menu to show up ?

thanks

Right-click and edit the menu again. This time make sure tha wine itelfs is ticked but in it's sub menus the relevant item only is unticked. Sorry i wasn't clear before.

Good luck and regards from

Even though Wine was re-installed using Add/Remove Applications Wine does not appear in the Applications Menu!.

Perhaps it is hidden - How to unhide/reveal this and get it onto the applications menu ?

thanks

If you are still having trouble with this then please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/re-posting a question just before america arrives online after work/school gives the best chance of getting a good few answers - such is the nature of the internet.

Apologies, good luck and many regards from
