May I can't start an wine application because some reason. In this case, wine should show an error. (GUI!)

delete desktop entry "Wine Windows Emulator"  
Written by natureflow the 27 Apr 08 at 10:17. Already implemented
Use binfmt_misc instead .desktop!

Please delete the desktop entry "Wine Windows Emulator" (/usr/share/applications/wine.desktop). Wine Is Not an Emulator and you do not need this desktop file. After deleting this file you can easily execute an windows file without beeing confused because the "open with Wine Windows Emulator".

Developer comments
The .desktop file is staying (it's also needed for .msi files), however the text has been changed to "Wine Windows Program Loader" and translated
