Default How do I prevent Excel 2007 from leaving ".tmp" files in my folder

Hi Deb

Do you use AVG as your home antivirus software? There can be issues with its
Resident Shield creating excel tmp files. If you disable it while you work
with Excel this should stop. It's probably also worth running the Windows
disk clean up.

I don't know if there is some configuration I've turned on in my home
computer or not, but excel keeps leaving around .tmp files when I edit all of
my xlsx files. The files are left in the same directory as the document I'm
editing.

Anyone know how to stop this? It doesn't do it on my work computer.
