The OS 7 to 9 generates a Rescued Files folder like you describe, but
places it in the Trash. It does this if you incorrectly shut down
(ie: don't use the Shut Down or Restart feature of the OS), and
during the subsequent disk scan at startup it finds orphaned files.
I've not seen OS X do this, but maybe it does as well and put that
folder on your desktop.
If you are seeing this happen over and over, when you have not been
incorrectly turning off or rebooting your computer, it would indicate
to me a problem with your hard drive. I would ASAP run Disk Utility
and run First Aid and see if it reports any disk problems. I'd also
repair permissions while there for good measure (but ONLY if it says
there are no disk problems).
If you reply to this email, be sure to choose Reply All to keep the
