...no browser is open (and no one's using the computer at that moment)? When I tried to open it from Temporary Internet Files, it looked like a page full of HTML code.
How about cookies -- can those automatically download even though the browser isn't open?

XML is a type of webpage. If it was in your Temp Internet Files, then it is a page you visited at some point. Whenver you open a page on the Internet, it copies that page to your hard drive before opening it. Faster that way. Left over from dial-up days.
If you are concerned about the file, delete it. Or open Internet Eplorer, click on Tools, select Internet Options, and click the Delete Files button. That will remove all the Internet files that have been downloaded to you PC.
If you are concerned that it might be spyware, check for spyware. Run both Ad-aware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and Skybot (http://www.safer-networking.org/) to remove any spyware. Run both as one may caught something the other missing. Then go to microsoft.com and download Defender to protect against future infections. All three are free programs.

XML is absolutely harmless. It is nothing more than a text file that describes data. It cannot do anything on it's own nor does it mean anything on it's own. It is about the same as me typing something into notepad. Cookies are the same. Just simple text files that store information pertaining to sites you have visited. They don't do anything on their own.

XML files open with Excel (Office spreadsheet program).
Cookies don't "download" they are more like a record of where you've been. Tacks. Hence, the term cookies.
