Excel 2000
 

Lately, when I open, edit and save (or don't save) a workbook, the system
creates another workbook with ~RF1....TMP added after the .xls extent. For
example for a Myworkbook.xls, another file called
Myworkbook.xls~RF1f84a34.TMP gets created.

It does not happen all of the time but happens more often than not.

And what's more of a problem is that I cannot delete these temp files unless
I reboot my computer?

What's going on?

Thanks for your help.
