Susan,
57 processes sounds quite high! Are you sure that you are looking at a
page
in task manager that says "Processes List" at the top of the page?
If so, can you close all programs and then tell me how many processes are
in
the list? It is important to have all programs closed so that we are not
seeing processes that are part of those programs.
You will only see Excel in the processes list while it is running. You
will
not see it there unless you have excel open.
Are you still having trouble with the broken file?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Susan,
I think you are seeing a temporary file that Excel has created due to
a malfunction while Excel was running. Even though you pressed alt-F4,
Excel cannot close sometimes when something has gone wrong internally.
As long as excel is still running, you will not be able to delete this
temporary file.
The simple way to delete it is to restart the computer and then go to
the folder and delete the temporary file (it is the one with all the
unreadable stuff in the file name!)
Another way which you might like to try before restarting the
computer, is to open the task list by pressing control-shift-escape.
This opens up the task list showing the applications which are
running. This list will be empty if you closed Excel and have no other
programs running. That's fine if so. Press control-tab once. This
should now announce "Processes page". If not, repeat Control-tab and
keep going until you hear "Processes Page". In this list you will see
all sorts of strange file names. These are all the processes in your
computer. Ignore the strange names. Just press "e" for Excel. If Excel
is still running in the background it will show up here.
If
you hear "Excel.exe" then you know that it is still trying to run,
even though you closed it down. Just press tab about three or four
times until you hear "End process" and press enter. Press excape to
remove the task list.
To make sure all is cleaned up, go to the recycle bin and empty it.
I would then restart the computer just to make sure all is well.
All the best,
Cearbhall

hi folks,
can any one help, strange thing has been happening lately with me as
regards files i have saved in x l, when working in these files and i'm
finished what i'm doing i press alt f4 you know the usual to come out
of the file when i see that as well as the file i've just come out of
it has put another file in that same folder right below the one i've
just come out of, for instance say i've just come out of a file called
"susan 2014" below that there has appeared another file called "susan
2014. xls~ rf 1d4f" there is some thing at the end of that but can't
make out what jaws is saying. however when i go to delete it there is
a big bong and jaws says "error deleting file or folder dialog can not
delete susan 2014 xls~ rf 1d4f access is denied make sure the disk is
not full or right- protected and that the file is not currantly in use
ok button"
this folder i'm working with is on my pen drive as it is very private
so i don't obviously keep this information on my hard drive.
best wishes
susan
