I am having a strange issue with :w. Instead of just writing the whole
buffer to the current file, it also creates another copy of the file.
I don't think this is normal behavior. Is there a way to turn it off?
I am running Vim 7.0 on XP.

In the same directory, with the the same name, but a tilde
Great advice. Putting set nobackup in my _gvimrc remedies the
problem. I believe that the underlying issue was the compatible
