re: Odd extra files with ",_" prefix? Saturday, March 18, 2006 at 12:44 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mark (1809 messages posted) I suspect that Word is corrupted. Try and save a new file of a word document. It only needs to be of a few lines and see if it produces two saved files. If it does then you will need to uninstall and reinstall Word. As for gtting rid of those files beginning with a _ , do a search for _*.* and delete them.
