(New ?) Macro security hole in Word 97

Hi, I find something very annoying yesterday, and I found no reference about it on security lists. So I will share it here. System used: NT4.0, word97 Temp directory: C:\temp What I did is create a word document with an AutoOpen macro. I then saved the file in the temp and renammed it in : C:\temp\Auto_Recovery_Of_something.asd I then closed the session. When the next user on my station opened word, the file was automatically opened, and the macro executed without asking for any confirmation. Has anyone ever heard of this one ?
