I've seen that when an MS Office program opens a file and then crashes; they're some sort of temp file that Office usually cleans up when it closes properly. The original files are probably still somewhere and those temp files can be deleted without any problems.
After doing a little research, because I'm curious:
QuoteWhen you try to open a file that is available on a network and that is already opened by someone else, this file supplies the user name for the following error message: This file is already opened by user name. Would you like to make a copy of this file for your use?
(I always kinda wondered how Office did that...)
