I've never seen anything like this in any version of Word.
My first guess would be that you have some kind of Addin
doing this...

1. Is this a true shortcut? Or are you actually referring
to "temp" files (file name starts with a ~ or ends in tmp)?

2. If you hold down the Ctrl key, then start up Word, does
the problem still occur? (Note: Word is starting in "Safe
Mode", so may look a bit odd.)
