-~/.local/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
-</code>
-An example of the contents of this file appears below:
-<code ini>
-[MIME Cache]
-application/rtf=wine-extension-rtf.desktop;
-application/vnd.ms-htmlhelp=wine-extension-chm.desktop;
-application/winhlp=wine-extension-hlp.desktop;
-application/x-mswinurl=wine-extension-url.desktop;
-application/x-mswrite=wine-extension-wri.desktop;
