I found out that this folder was created when I installed Service Pack 1.
I deleted it and saw it again after installing IE 5.5
Thanks to Ken Morris for suggestions.

Looks like a roving profile is set. That directory structure is one I
usually see in the user's profile directory. Perhaps (I'm not fully up to

These folders will be created for every user who logs on locally (which
might be at the console or as a service)
Computername$ is the hidden account for the machine used when logging on at
the domain
