Hi,

one thing I can tell you: I have never seen such .dat
files on my XP machines. However the long figure looks
like a class identifier which you usually shoulg find in
your registry.
Start it with regedit and search for those strings:
{6DDB9653-0245-42B0-9006-6B0FD6EE9013}
{80888AC5-401A-4861-B8D6-6113B8C943A8}
{A4F7A0B4-DB19-4F81-B27A-C0DDA9BEAD3D}
{DE4F4C6D-20B5-422D-AA01-C18B08DFB4BF}
{E2C530E9-F16E-428C-8EC7-16AD9166AF96}
{EB71795E-45A1-40B7-A39B-484E24ED5AE4}
{EB7C82AF-20D3-42EE-9232-9235BE4BAD5F}
Might be that gives you an idea what program creates these
files!
good luck!
