My Opera"You have files ready to be written to the CD". No I've not...

It's the latest strange message to appear on my screen. It pops up during startup, then everything waits until I acknowledge it.
Checking the source of this message reveals a folder called 'Xtras', the icon is a regular folder with a little 'down' arrow in the bottom left corner, it contains one folder. It passes Spybot S&D, Clam AV, and Malwarebytes, and upon opening reveals another folder titled 'New folder'. This folder is empty.
One thing I've never tried to do on this machine is write to the CD. I've just never had cause to do it, so, how did this 'file' come about? Computers do strange things, but not off their own bat, someone somewhere always has to have had a hand in it, intentionally or otherwise, so does anyone know where 'Xtras' might have come from and how an empty folder has fooled a perfectly sensible 'pooter into thinking it's a file that requires copying to CD?
I think we should be told, preferably before I consign 'Xtras' to the pits of the netherworld.
And that's another thing. Why has Microsoft retitled the scrap bin as recycling? Darf' oi calls it...
