We have a location on the network in which user have file creation rights but do not have delete rights. So what happens now is the user open up Excel or PowerPoint it creates the lock file example: ~$test with autosave.xlsx. The files stay out there and never gets deleted unless manually removed from the server side. When a user opens a Word document the files are not created but the Excel and PowerPoint (~$test.pptx) stay out there. Is there a reason why Word doesnt create these lock files and Excel and PowerPoint do? 1 person needs an answerI do too
