thanks, i'm guessing i'd want to edit this to my own settings, so it clears what i want it to, but obviously i'm a bit dubious about how to safely open and edit it, i dont want to accidentally run it prematurely! any tips for playing with this particular fire safely?

ps would a rm /home/user/MyDocs/ command work as root or is it somehow protected? again, testing isn't really an option!
