I have seen files with random hexadecimal numbers for names before.  If
memory serves, the ones that I found were occasionaly left behind by using
the ms-dos pipe.  I often use the batch file "less.bat" that contains this
lone command:

       type %1 | c:\dos\more

This batch file just pipes type's output into the screen full break filter
called "more".   Since I have a path set to c:\dos, I can and do use "less"
while I am on any drive in any directory.  MS-DOS seems to sometimes leave
these temporary files behind if I am using "less" when the current drive
is something other than c:.

Use "type" without any filters to see what the contents of these files are.
If they are copies of data you sent through a pipe, you have found the
source of these files.

(I have also seen these files in the directory when I use "dir | more"--
using the page break switch on "dir" works much better: "dir/p".)
