For some reason, when I launch Office 2010 using WINE, it creates a lnk file in the Recent directory of my Windows Profile.

I just checked the folder and there were ~2000 LNK files.

How would I delete all LNK files on system startup?

find [path] -iname '*.LNK'

If you run the above and are fine with deleting all of the listed files, then:

find [path] -iname '*.LNK' -print -delete

You can leave out -print if you don't care to see which files are being deleted.

With -iname it's case insensitive.
