Well, yeah, I've already done that. But like I want to catch that guy
in the act of letting his dog crap on my lawn, I want to find out how
to stop these files from being created.

An Update:
My Motherboard uses an analog audio chip from Asus. The ALC1200 is NOT an
official Realtek codec. It uses the driver (v5.10.0.5657), which is an Asus
Driver for Realtek Audio Manager (huh?).
See here:

So I guess the question now is: Do you have Realtek Audio and an Asus
mainboard?

If you are determined enough to find the offending software,
one trick is to make a directorys of the same name(s), to block
generating new files.
Thats the way I blocked a recurring virus infection in the past.
After having done that, check the log files for complaints about
not being able to open a bin file.
