What are these files, ntuser.dat.log ntuser.dat

[Halder]

These files are in my C: Documents and Settings folder;
ntuser.dat.log
ntuser.dat
ntuser.ini

they cannot be accessed

I am assuming these are legit windows files, am I right?

Thanks
halder

did you do an upgrade from a previous nt version of windows?
are you running xp?
did you do a clean install of windows xp?
have you run a browser hijack application, a session of spy bot?

Nothing to worry about. It's not malware. We all have it. Your user account settings are stored in that file.
