Default User folder temp IE files

G'day,

SBS2k3 standard fully patched. Internally - XP Pro
workstations joined to domain plus MACS using OWA.
Externally Windows Mobile device and one XP laptop currently
both using OWA.

Questions:
Should the \Docs and Settings\Default User\..... \temp
internet files\xxxxx\ folders on the server fill up with
temp files? That is - where are they coming from?
What purpose does that Default User folder serve?

Context:
Backup to LTO Ultrium drive using bog standard sbs macro
created backup routine failed on one locked file in one of
the above folders. Found the file was locked by AVG and was
infected. Moved to virus vault.

Noticed that there were a lot of temp files in that folder
dating back from yesterday to about feb 07 and all timed
within a few minutes either side of 1600 hours brit summer
time or 1700 hours GMT. Odd - but don't want to jump to
conclusions.

Puzzled - I checked through my WFilter logs to see what
internet activity there was about that time - nothing
conclusive...
So I double checked the security event log wondering if
someone had used the server to browse the web - nothing
unusual there either.
Double checked the Application log - nothing unusual.

Am remotely admininistering the server.

Not sure where to fault find next, any help much
appreciated.
