I've been using Qimage Studio 2009.209 for quite some time. Lately it has started writing 0 block files to the root directory of my images hard drive. There have been as many as 65 and they are erased when Qimage is closed. Qimage Ultimate 2011.136 does it, too. Does anyone know why?

I have attached a screen shot of some of today's files.

What kind of operation(s) are you doing in Qimage when those appear?  In looking at them, I don't think they are coming from Qimage because there is no code in Qimage that creates temporary or lock/semaphore files in the root.  So I think it's probably some other program interfering like an antivirus program or maybe a driver of some sort that is creating those outside of Qimage based on something in Qimage that it is "watching".  If I know what type of functions make them appear though, I might be able to narrow it down.  None of the machines I tested create any files at all in the root so it is something specific to your setup or machine.  That is, unless you are doing some unique operation I haven't tested, which is why I ask if they are only appear when you are performing some particular operation in Qimage.

Today Qimage is writing those zero block file on startup and it was set to print to my Epson 9800. Only 4 files on startup.
