Why the temp file?

[John]

Now I found the real culprit. It is OPA11.bak dated 10/17/2002. When I
cleaned out all the bak files office stopped working and I discovered it
was this one. So why does microsoft have a major component as a BAK
file? I notice there is also a opa11.dat dated 12/19/2004. What are
these for?

Well... BAK is a lousy name for a file that is absolutely necessary.
That name is normally reserved for backup files that AREN'T necessary. I
wonder how many people go through what I went through. It's just another
microsoft thoughtless screw-up as far as I'm concurred. I understand
there are some pirate style work arounds laying out there.
