I reinstalled Word XP and Windows XP. Since then in my document folders
there are a lot of duplicate "greyed" docs which have a ~and a $ sign before
them - in fact replacing the first few letters of the document name. If I
try to open them dialogue box says the appropriate converter is not there.
The original document is still there but it clutters up the folders and
sometimes takes up 1/2 the space. How did they get there and how can I get
rid of them without having to manually delete them and if I do so will there
be a problem?
