tis a microsoft glitch. I've read it's related to Outlook Express, address books, windows updates, buggy installs, etc.

It's not a glitch, it's a feature

[missing-score]

of course its not a glitch! microsoft software is great, the only problem comes when it is installed on your PC, then it can experience a few "features"

Im really getting too sarcastic latley

Yeah they are just temp files, safe to delete in most cases.

Windows doesn't have bugs, it just developes new features.
