Default Unexpected Window

I running Windows XP-Pro SP3 using Word 97. (Yes, it's an antique but it
matches y age.)

Everytime I open a word document (file.doc, for example), a pop up window
appears saying . . .

"C:\...\Desktop\file.doc is being used by Jim Hopkins. Do you want to make a
copy?"

.. . . at which time I click "Cancel" and go on my obstreperous way. Now,
this happens when no other Word documents are open, even when I open files
I've never opened before. How do I get rid of this pop up window.

Could another User identity have been created in Windows somehow?

Maybe you should just sit this Jim Hopkins down and have a good long
talk with him.
