Hi I'm just wondering what are these files that named (~)

starts with tilde and some letters, even exe.

Anybody knows what these files are? thanks.

Known glitch. Changes in the address book cause this. Just delete/ignore
them.

Hi!Bee!

It happens when you make a change and/or view the Address Book. You can
either rename it with a .dbx extension or delete it. It came about from
the updates numbered: 331923 and 330994. MS is aware of the issue.

Would those two updates show up in add/remove programs? If so, the problem
is not just limited to those two updates. I have the same problem and don't
see either of those updates in add/remove programs.
