When a file is created in excel and is saved. When I want to check the file it is not there but there is one file with alphanumeric number with extension file which is my excel file. looks like it is the temp file. can this problem be avoided so that it keeps the file with the given name.
 
When you save a file, excel will save it as a temporary file (8 characters, no
extension). Then if that save is successful, excel will delete the original and
rename this funny named file to the original's name.

You see the results when something interferes with this process.

A couple of things that get pointed at are antivirus software and network
problems (hardware or permissions).

Maybe you could disable the antivirus software (temporarily) to see if that
helped.

If the problem goes away, then visit your local AV site and see if they have
updates. If it doesn't, I'd think I'd try to get my IT department more
involved. (well, unless you're already the IT department!)
