Calm down, the files are harmless. When you were logged in as Administrator
"last night" you accessed a web page. ".xml" Extensible Markup Language,
used to allow for the easy interchange of documents on the World Wide Web.
".css" Cascading Style Sheets, provides better means for controlling the
design of a Web page. And "js", JavaScript is a scripting language
developed by Netscape to enable Web authors to design interactive sites.
Leav'em or delet'em. Feel better now.
