Afrika - I wouldn't worry about it too much. Typing del *.* in Word won't do a lot of damage

No it was meant as a joke. Most users I know, if I asked them to type in del *.* to see what happened they would put it into Word. They would have no idea what the command line was, never mind how to get at it
