Default How do I stop auto creating .TMP files in EXCEL?

After saving my Excel files I automatically have a .tmp file created for each
one. It is an exact duplicate. I do not need these .tmp files. It places them
in the same folder as my originals.

Excel creates a bunch of .tmp files in the Windows Temp folder. If you're
seeing them in a different location, it may not be excel (I've never seen xl do
this).

It may be your antivirus program.

One person posted that they saw files that had names like: ~RF26c83af.TMP.

It was caused by AVG.

A while ago, someone posted back that uninstalling something called "Panda
ClientShield" fixed a similar problem.

Even if you're not running "Panda ClientShield", you could try disabling this
program to see if the problem goes away.
