Each time I 'save as' MS Excel saves an additional file in my folder which
has archive properties and also tags it as temporary. I would like to
eliminate this additional file from the saving process. How is this done?

That is by design and cannot be turned off

This is a backup file in case something bad happens. Excel will use it to
recreate the document.

There's a description of the process in the following MSKB article:
