The only way that would happen is if the site had somehow remapped the temp directory to c:\windows\temp.
Issue a %temp% at the command prompt and see what it comes back with.
It can be overridden in the user section of environment variables.

I renamed the temp files to an EXE and ran them. One produced a blank message box, the other two complained about not being an EXE. That's definitely NOT how our app behaves, so I'm not sure what this is.

I don't know if the "USS" prefix has any significance, or if it is a random filename that will eventually change to something else. Any ideas?
