Why do my word documents keep duplicating as hidden files?
I have Windows ME and now whenever I open and close a Word Document it
duplicates itself as a hidden file (with a name that is a combination of numbers and letters). Why is it doing this and how do I stop this happening? Thanks. |

Whenever Word opens a document or you work on a document a variety of hidden
files are created. This is normal, intentional and you cannot and should not do anything about it. When Word is closed the temporary files created in respect of that session should be deleted. If Word closes prematurely by means of a crash or by switching off the PC without closing Windows correctly the temporaty files can remain to interfere with the correct running of Word - see http://www.gmayor.com/what_to_do_when_word_crashes.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org reubendexter wrote: I have Windows ME and now whenever I open and close a Word Document it duplicates itself as a hidden file (with a name that is a combination of numbers and letters).
