Strange Entries appearing in my User folder

I am having some strange entries appearing in my user folder. They look kind of like registry keys. The name on one is: {8fe23f09-822e-47f1-a18a-6c217d3715ac}

The other is {fb188761-d295-4c64-ab73-e81bf66b0f24}

If I click on these and open them, there is something inside with the file type of "security catalog"

I have no idea what these are, where they came from or whether I'll do some kind of harm to my computer by deleting them.

This happened to me one other time where these things started appearing. Eventually I accumulated dozens of them. I was having other problems so ended up doing a system recovery, reformatting the drive, and they stopped appearing, but now have started again.

Any ideas???

Everybody will have this. Even inside my profile also these entries are there.

You dont need to worry about that. Its a system and super hidden file.

If you enabled the view of super hidden folder you will see that. :)

Thank you. If I don't want to continue to see these how do I hide them? I'm not sure how i enabled the view of super hidden files.
Thanks

Actually, what I've discovered is that I already had the option "do not show hidden files" checked. Yet the files still appear. So this puzzles me. Seems like maybe the original hypothesis, that these are just hidden files that are always there, may not be accurate. Any other suggestions???
