Excel 2007 Back-up copies

H

How do I stop Excel from creating a "back-up" copy everytime I "save" a
document? It only does this when I "Save" not when I "save as". My folders
are quickly filling up with back-ups. This just started happening after I
upgraded to Windows 7.

Does that happen for all workbooks or a specific one.

Open the workbook>from Save AS dialog>Tools>General Options> check whether
'Always create backup' is enabled or not?
