RE: Dodgy File Transfer Names
The ~1 that you see at the end of files i think is how windows actually reads the file. This shortens the file to 6 characters i think then adds~1

eg. Program Files is PROGRA~1. These short names are used in cmd.exe as well.

eg. in cmd.exe you type cd\ to open the C drive, the cd\PROGRA~1\ to open program files.

I don't know why its being shown like this in your conversation windows, but i don't think its anything to worry about.
