Oh another thing ... deleting the WMF file association and/or filtering WMF files offers NO protection due to how Windows treats file extensions; could be disguised as a .gif, .jpg, etc.

In addition, WMF based exploits can execute in ways that one wouldn't expect - such as when viewed in file manager, etc; unexpected executed by various applications on one's system ... some of Google's tools can execute WMFs! This is a real nasty exploit all around.
