Hi, how avoid that when installing something with playonlinux shortcuts are added to system menu?

I prefer manage playonlinux programs only with its gui, also because removing a program from playonlinux its shortcuts remain in main menu (kde menu in my case).

Since wine provides this:

http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-c847a3ded88bac0e61aae0037fa7dbd4c7ae042a

which file I need to edit for adding the line:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winemenubuilder.exe=d

or can you add an option for this directly in the gui?

Dirty way :

Add export WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winemenubuilder.exe=d in /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux file

Thanks Quentin, the export line seems to work fine.
