Some users expressed concern in the capabilities of the Wine package to run .exe or autorun files by default, and sometimes this without asking permission from the user. This can be stopped, the solution can be taking this line: MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-msdos-program;application/x-msdownload; out of the wine.desktop file. And adding a message telling the user that in order to enable file association with wine the have to issue the following command as root: echo "MimeType=application/x-ms-dos-executable;application/x-msdos-program;application/x-msdownload;" >> /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop Thanks goes to trivialstuff for looking into this, I didn't had the time to. The discussion has been going on here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=54162 I will appreciate your suggestions guys. Thanks Eduardo "kensai" Romero
