It's created the first time you launch any of the Office apps and its 18.1MB! Why is it so big? Why can't office store this stuff in its preferences like a normal application? I'm setting up a default user folder for people to log into and having this file created lets the Office apps launch faster but its so damn big. Twice as big as the user folder without it!

Bigger than it should be for only launching Word once. I mean, what the hell is in there anyway?
