I have a Widows XP machine using office 2000. I have deleted some folders numerous times from my My Documnents folder. When I shut the machine downthe folders/files I deleted reappear as copies. There are three and four copies of the same file in here. I verify that the files are gone before I shut the machine down. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Daren

File/Folders keep duplicating

What are the name and/or type of file or folder being recreated?
Have a look at your Startup programs (type Msconfig in the Start Run box) and see if something there is creating them at Startup.
The other possibility is that they are Window's system files or folders and are being created by the operating system.

Has Excel got something like this? What Preference Options do you have?
Application AutoRecover Enabled.
Auto Recovery is a new Excel 2002 feature that tries to restore a user to where he was after an Excel crash. If it's enabled (via the new Tools, Options, Save tab) Excel periodically saves hidden backup copies of active workbooks.
