    Temp files prehaps? some apps while you are using them create a temporary file just incase of an accident, then when you close the app until reboot it may lurk around for a bit! one weird one when I first started using XP was the ~ (tilde) that appeared on the desktop.. until after a while I finally located an explanation it was when you update or add someting to the IE address book it created a backup and the ~ was the backups name!
