Default Word Documents Autosaving in weird format

Hi,
As of recently my computer has taken to automatically creating an additional
version of Word documents (I am using Word 2003). The additional version
starts with ~$

So for example if I was working on the a document called kathywork.doc, the
computer will also automatically create a version called ~$thywork.DOC. If I
try to open the automatically created document, then the File Conversion box
pops up. Any ideas on how to prevent these additional docs from saving
themselves? They are cluttering up my files.
