The files are for the desktop database which exist for any Mac OS volume, no they are not necessary, yes they are always created by default no matter the origin of the burned file but you can remove them without causing any issues.

Can any of you G-Mac Toastmasters clarify this for me? I just burned a word
document using Toast 5. It was a single document that was lying on the
desktop. Toast put on the Desktop DF (?) and Desktop DB (?) and the
document. 104K for the document, 3.x mgs for one of those Desktop files.
Questions: what are those desktop files; why are they necessary on the
burned disk; would they have been burned with the file if it had been
resident on the HD, off the desktop. A little light, please.
