.tmp files in Windows folder

Recently, when bored, I looked in my Windows folder and was surprised to see over 2500 objects listed. Further investigation showed over 2000 .tmp files. These started with fffe and had a very long file name ending in .tmp The following is an example:-
fffe0007_{8631C639-F9A3-44BD-8246-5B2BA37BFB98}.tmp
I have since deleted all these files with no apparent harm to the system (they show as 0 bytes in properties).
Can anybody tell me what these files are and how they came to be there? Also how can I stop them from returning?
I am running Windows ME on a Liberta DeskNote 900
