File with ~ tilte extension

[ams]

I find these on my desktop but cannot open.
What are these ?

Thank you.

The tilde is a result of this patch:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/330994/default.asp
The file is created when certain changes are made to your address
book.
The files can be safely deleted.
A search of Google shows many having the same harmless but possibly
annoying issue.

My understanding is that Microsoft is aware of the issue.
