I am running a program that I would like to hide. It is installed under WINE and shows up in my "installed programs" section of dash home aka main menu. How do I hide this program? I would not like it on any menu.:confused:

If it's showing in the Dash then there is a .desktop file (launcher) for that program.
Where it is you'd have to find, may just be on the Desktop

If you open the .desktop in a text editor (open a gedit window & drop the .desktop (launcher) in to
Then add this line -

NoDisplay=true

No luck. It installed under wine so it is in C:\program (x86) etc etc. I looked but that file does not exist.

BY that you mean alacarte? I tried but it does not show up as it is installed via wine.

I lied! You were dead on. It was just under ~.local/shared/applications


Thank you very much!
