And can I delete those weird temp files from my desktop?

What you're seeing could be windows hidden files.

You can delete the temp files showing on the desktop ONLY after you've done this:

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.
