Strange file creation

If I open a file - like the def file for a device ... say the ATmega1280 that I'm using (..\defs\ATmega1280.c) ... within the IDE and then close it - after doing NOTHING, a new file is created in the directory where the file came from with a .INI extension appended to it that contains some INI type data. This is PROBABLY intentional, so that the file can be reopened to the same line position last viewed, but it could make for a lot of extra files out there...

I know there is an editor option for remembering where it was (and I do have it enabled), but I would expect that to apply only to actual PROJECT files that I have created - not library or reference files such as the def file above.

I can also live with this one, but thought I'd mention it in case it's an oversight.
