What are these files that I keep finding in my computer and do I need them?



Question Details:

S-1-5-21-1103968370-3850067616-559599451-1000 is a file folder, 1.46 kb containing 5 files that say they are system files. The file names are similar to that of the parent folder. {AB5E289E-76BF-4251-9F3F-9B763F681AE0} opens in notepad and contains the following text: ¦ Sý½F·¶˜£‹¤Å'Ëär´à øy¿,8‚Ã' ºXÆ'²â€'ÂÛ ~DÂ¥ÀíkÆS3Ã'KÃ'»*³¦4»Å'Âp_¾|Å'¨Ã...+ ]Ëœb.ž}€/úm`>-òÀ뤣à ,€ØìcȘž ü7ä­"â€'BðEè â€'x.†ÂÃ'£ëÂ-Â@copy;ËMdÆ'~ò1{AÅ'ߺâ#a¶hIx߬òþto›¼â€'Å'4Ã...n(â€'æW*e&v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01v01 I do not understand where these files came from. They have original dates of creation to days where I did use my computer, however I did not put these here and none of my protective programs for antivirus, spyware, malware or junk are able to scan these. I stumbled upon them when accessing my network discovery folder to see what folders were supposedly being shared by me. I had done this because my file sharing kept automatically enabling itself after being disabled several times manually by me. A default music folder that could be used for sharing keeps reappearing on my desktop everytime I reboot after many attempts to remove the folder completely since I do not use it. I am running Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic on a Compaq Presario C551NR Notebook PC manufactured by Hewlett Packard. It is an X86 based PC with an Intel Celeron Processor 440 @ 1.86 GHz, 1862 Mhz with 1 core and 1 logical processor.
