Are you using an Epson scanner and scanning from inside Photoshop?
Doing that will result in the folders that you are seeing in your Prefs Folder.
They serve no purpose and can be trashed.
Scan using your scanner software as a stand-alone application and you will no longer have this problem.

Does so in the library/ preferences folder. One folder on each startup, empty, with a name full of nothing but junk. Then, eventually (after maybe a dozen folders are created) it'll crash completely. Sometimes putting junk all over the monitor - looks like a bad video card, except it's ONLY with PS. It also says I'm missing a couple of plugins (which are in the folder, but in red). I'm using CS2 on a very recent iMac. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Laurence,
Not to worry. We figured you had Thanksgiving on your mind. But the image that comes to mind is funny!

That does sound like the Epson TWAIN driver bug from a while back.

Makes sense - I've recently installed an Epson printer/copier/scanner/toaster/microwave on that computer. Where might I find this twain driver and eliminate it, so I can go back to my regular oven?

put a tile in front of the TWAIN.plugin in the plugins folder.

That would be "tilde" (~) of course.

Updated drivers can usually be found on the product manufacturer's website.

Neil,
Oh, God, thank you. I've been at Home Depot and was really stumped, deciding on the color of that damn tile.

Laurence,
As you can imagine, some folks would be baffled by the typo. :-)
I'm getting Buko a new Mr Coffee machine for the holidays.
