Temp files
SysInternals do a great tool called "Handle", which will tell you what processes are using what files. Excellent for when you are trying to delete them, but something is locking them.
I have had a number of files in my temporary directory that I have never know what they are. They all start with 'ib', with two sequential numbers after. An example filename: ib45
These files actually belong to the MySQL daemon I'm running on my PC.
The other file I cannot delete are Perflib_Perfdata_xxx.dat. These files turn out to be part of VMWare (for running virtual machines).
Handy, I won't try and delete them now!
