unexpected directories created

I've been assigned an issue on a customer PC where strange directories
are being created in the user's Do***ents folder in Vista Home
Premium. The mystery directories are in the form of (a few Chinese
chars)/Microsoft/Office. There are no files, just the top level
directory with the two underneath it. The top directory name has
different Chinese characters in each folder name. Anti-virus doesn't
flag anything. Any ideas? I've never seen anything like this before.

Sorry, wrong group I now realize. Any help would still be appreciated
however!

Honest mistake.

What is the ownership of these folders? Does the creation timestamp give any
clues? Has the user downloaded any foreign Office components?
