Duplicate of bug 19182.
Adding export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winemenubuilder.exe=d" to .bashrc will disable winemenubuilder for all wineprefixes, without needing to bother with winecfg. The only problem is that winetricks does not respect .bashrc settings, but that's a winetricks bug.

Desktop shortcuts will still be created regardless this hack.
