Now run it to see your asdf file has gone! well, something to think about. However, your system is only gone if you do this a root. If I remember right, there is a warning popping up if you use root with gnome. I don't know surely, because I 'su' always. However, for the user files you seem to be right, and I don't know how you can check beforehand if a document contain a macro like this, which might be executed when opening it. I'm a little worried, because I quite often have to open ppt and/or sdd files which are not mine. Any advices?
