I have a strage problem at the moment. In the last few weeks I am getting users calling me telling me that an excel document that they are trying to access is locked for editing by a user who is no longer here and has not been here for about 2 years. I am using Excel 2010 on Win 7 and it seems that many users have the same problem. I saved a file in my network drive and closed it. When I reopened the file two days ago, it said this file is locked for editing by 'user(me). Restart/shutdown didn't work. I closed and I killed excel - even in CMD.
