Re: Explorer loses focus on current file

MS Word creates a ~$name.doc for every existing .doc file when that file is opened.
For example, Some_name.doc and ~$me_name.doc. ~$ takes the place of the first two characters of the original file name.
Owner File (Same Directory as Source File):
When a previously saved file is opened for editing, printing, or review, Word creates a temporary file with a .doc file name extension that begins with a tilde "~" followed by a dollar sign "$" followed by the remainder of the original file name. This temporary file holds the logon name of person opening the file and is known as the "owner file."

In news:213A1189-B843-4984-9536-45AA07C318BA@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Steve Tuck <Steve Tuck@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
I have something similar happening, on just *one* of our five PCs.
I recently rebuilt this machine, reinstalled Win XP Pro + SP2 + all
updates from scratch. It's an AMD X2 5200, so nice & fast.
I start in Windows Explorer, browsing a folder (with a lot of files in).
Click on a Word document to open it. Word opens the file. Meanwhile,
Windows Exlorer has 'lost focus' on the file, and (for me) jumps right
back to the beginning of the file list.
I can see the temp file named ~$blah.doc sitting at the bottom of the file
list if I scroll down to it.
Paint Shop PRO 7 also jumps like this when opening files. Adobe Acrobat
(for example) does not.
I wonder if it's something to do with Explorer 'sensing' that the folder
contents have changed and jumping / losing focus.
I have looked all through the Win XP "TweakUI" settings, just in case
there's something to fix it.
If you can shed light on the above, then I think you will help both me &
jjjdavidson.
Thanks!
