Strange file keeps appearing on Desktop


Recommended Posts

I have noticed this occationally on various desktops, including mine recently. Sometimes a file that is simply marked "~" is placed on the desktop. I can't find what is causing this file to be created, but it seems to appear when checking email or after browsing the internet. I really would like to know what is causing this file to appear - also have noticed when I open the file with notepad I can see some names of various contacts from the address book. But I don't know what this file is, or how to prevent it from being created. help would be really appreciated. This is happening on Windows XP Home and Pro versions.
