how do I get rid of dupliate ghost files

[srerwin]

When I save a file in Word 2007 a second "ghost file" is also created with
the "~" symbol in front of the file name ... how do I get ride of, or hide,
the ghost file?

Don't ENable show Hidden files in your operating system.

That file is created as the Word's work file and should be deleted when you
exit out of Word or close the main file you are working on. If it is not,
it can be safely deleted once the program has been closed. Occasionally if
you exit Word in an abnormal manner (program crash or hang) the files will
remain.

I liked reading your answer, makes perfect sense, dis-enable showin
hidden files. I'm on Windows 7 and I'd really like to know where to fin
the place to dis-enable them. Thanks a great deal
