It's a known, harmless bug, that has been corrected in one of the WinXP
updates, from Microsoft. Have you run the Windows Updates?

The tilde (~) is a result of this patch:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/downloads/critical/330994/default.asp

The file is created when certain changes are made to your address book. This is a non-fatal error, ignore it.
