File opend by an other user display's a wrong user

I have a windows 2003 server dedicated as a file server.
When a file is open by a user (no mather whitch user), and an other user is trying to open the file, they get an error: this file is already opend by user X.
What is a good thing cause only one user can open a file at a time. However...... the name of user X is always the same!!! (one of my collegue, that isn't even working or loged in at this time!!)

Does any of you're guys have any idear how to fix this????

And do you know where this information is sored? I can't find anything in the registry...
I believe kept in the user settings part of the profile
Found it in the registry as a binary value (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\UserInfo)
Thnx anyway!
