FWIW, there's a setting in Word 2003 and earlier at Tools | Options |
General | Web Options | Files to "Organize supporting files in a folder." I
imagine that clearing this check box would result in the files being stored
in the same folder with the Web page (which would eliminate the _files), but
it would certainly clutter up that folder! In any case, my guess is that
Word and Windows have some "secret handshake" by which the Web page file and
supporting folder are linked.

Not really a Word thing (I'm guessing it's an OS feature): one thing
special about these folders is that if you delete the htm file in Windows,
the folder gets automatically deleted as well. Any idea on how they do
that? I'm guessing it must be some kind of linking as it would seem odd to
me that the simple delete command would investigate your files. So I'm
wondering if you somehow know how Word does set up those links.

They are the files associated with documents saved as web pages. Save
your web pages in a separate folder from your Word documents and avoid
the clutter.

Not sure what they are or why they are there, but the folders with the
"_files" extension really clutter things up and make it difficult to
find the
files I am looking for. Any way to hide those, or some other method so
that
I don't have to look at these?
