Default file.xls is locked for editing by "user"

I am the sole user of this computer. The files are stored on this computer
(Vista Home Premium, Excel 2003) I create an Excel file and save it. I
immediately go to the file in Explorer or "Open" in Excel and try to open the
file again, but I get the message that "filename.xls is locked for editing by
(name)" The name is my own. The only way to open it is to log off and log
back in. What's going on?
