When at "Open" screen some files have strange prefix "~$" Why? How fix?
 
Those are temporary files that Word deletes when it closes. You'd only
see them if Word crashed. If the files they relate to have been
recovered, you can just trash them.

(DiskCleanup should take care of them, shouldn't it?)
