Recycle bin filled with .bak files

Whitfil,
The date all these files were deleted was 12/28/06. The original location is Documents and Settings; however, when I right click on Properties it says "origin:Outlook Express." Date modified is 12/24. Now I'm questioning myself as to whether I deleted them. They wouldn't automatically delete - would they?

When I restore a file it does not give me the option to open it with Notepad or Wordpad. It merely puts it back it back in Outlook Express. Then I can open it and delete it again (for good) if necessary.
One of the file names is verio.bak
