Bug ID: 46233
           Summary: explorer /desktop does not release the graphic driver
                    dll
           Product: Wine
           Version: 3.21
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: explorerframe

      Distribution: ---

A graphic driver dll is loaded when the explorer is started
(https://github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/400dd1596ab7946e68278b3f8dc7c87b898...).
This driver is not released when closing the explorer. In addition, when the
driver is loaded, unique keys are created in the registry, which are not
deleted when the explorer is closed.

Why is it important to release it on process termination?

--- Comment #2 from Daniel Wendt  ---
In a long-running environment (where the Wineserver is not terminated), the
registry is spammed with entries. In my opinion it would be important to remove
these entries and release the DLL again.
