Word 2000 -- Help with all these TEMP FILES!

[Kevin]

Two questions here: For some reason, my Word 2000 (running ME) has started
created all these temp files with names like WRL0044.tmp in the folder where
I save most of my regualr word documents. THere are a hundred or so of these
and it wont let me trash them. How can I stip this and why is it happening?

The other question is even stranger: Every once in awhile when I X out of a
Word file, I get a winword crash message and then when I restart WORD and try
to open the file that I was closing at the time, it says it has been "locked
for editing by CBorzillo. Would you like to open as read-only?" Now, the
weird part is, CBorzillo is my old boss, but this is a home computer and she
has never worked on it in anyway, nor was it attached to the network for my
job in anyway. Help!
