If the application wants to write .lnk file to:
~/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Desktop
and Wine instead writes to:
~/.wine/drive_c/users/Public/Desktop
the application still thinks it wrote to:
~/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Desktop
and on uninstall tries to delete the .lnk from:
~/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Desktop
where it isn't.
