HW,

What are the names of the files? What types are they?
What files times?

If you get the properties (right-click | properties) of some of them it will
tell you where they originated from

Awaiting your response,

Well, what are some of the file names of the line items? Might provide
a clue as to what is going on in the computer.

When was the last time you updated and ran your antivirus ? Something is
creating "stuff".

all of a sudden are these showing up, 1,000 and never before.?

"Come from internet temp files. Assume generated when I visit the web. But

HW, the later post bolsters my contention IF you mean Temporary Internet
Files. Emptying TIF does NOT place them in Recycle Bin, at least not on my
computer. Something else is. Follow advice of others, like where from,
type, etc. Again, I say update and run antivirus.

Check Internet Options, perhaps some one has moved the temp files folder
