I wouldn't worry too much about this, if I were you.

It's a temp file created for an unsaved version of that document.

If you've seved that document already, delete this one.

Cheers!

Yeah, it's a normal function...

It sounds like you may have the 'show hidden files' option turned on. If so, open windows explorer from the start menu (not ie explorer) and click on tools/folder options/view and deselect show hidden files.
i am neutral here.
