Strange desktop.ini entries in IIS log

I have been seeing sporadic entries in the IIS log for our domain controller which show my workstation attempting to access ~/desktop.ini on the server. These attempts have been blocked by urlscan. Has anyone else seen this before, and is this something I should be worried about? I have only ever seen them coming from my workstation. I apologize for posting this in security basics, but after posting it to the focus-ms list I got no response.
