No, these are not hidden files, and they are not deleted when the workbook is
closed; here is an example of one of the files; "FC23D53A.tmp".

I've never seen a .tmp file in the same folder as the workbook I've opened
using Excel 2007. I always see a hidden file of the same name except with a
~ in front of it. This is normal and it is deleted when the workbook is
closed.
