In Microsoft Office, you may see Temporary files when you use the Open A
Document button on the Office Shortcut Bar.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you open an existing file in an application, and
Show All Files is selected in the View tab of the Options dialog box in
Explorer.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
- Start Windows Explorer.
- On the View menu, click Options.
- Select Hide Files Of These Types instead of Show All Files.
- Click Apply.
- Click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
Temporary files usually have a ~$ at the beginning of the filename. For
example, ~$Mydoc.doc is created when you open the document named Mydoc.doc
in Word 7.0. This temporary file is located in the same folder that the
original file was saved in and opened from.
The behavior is not seen in Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0, or
in Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 95, version 7.0.
