[PATCH] wine.inf: Disable file open associations by default

[Vitaly Lipatov]

Otherwise, when a user runs winecfg for the first time in order to disable it,
winemenubuilder will create filetype associations for Wine's builtin programs,
and users will have to manually remove them.

winemenubuilder knows what associations it created, and should be able to
delete them all. Users may also wish to enable/disable associations at any
point, not just when the WINEPREFIX is first being created. Maybe we should
have a "Remove all associations" button instead, or some other UI, eg. a
combined Gecko/Mono/menus/associations/etc. dialog that sets the desired
settings from the start?
