Which files? If they start with a period (hidden files), they may be configuration files for various programs.

If you've gotten this far and not needed them, then you can go ahead and trash them. Store them for a little while in the trash bin before you delete them. Regarding the OO file, try opening OO after you trash the file to see if it complains.

Don't be surprised when you lose all of your desktop icons when you delete these files. Make sure you have backups. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
