It is difficult to understand what you are referring to here. Word makes a
variety of temporary files on the hard drive (which should be removed when
Word is closed) and Windows makes all kinds of records about the files you
open. Neither can be prevented. If you identify which files you are
referring to, then it may be possible to recommend a work around.

When I open a file in Word 2003, it creates a shortcut to that file
in the Local Disk (Hard Drive). The result is an undesirable
cluttering of the Local Disk file display. How do I disable this
feature?
