Unlinked web pages on a server - security hole?

On my website, I have several html files I do not link off the main portal page. Without other people linking to them, is it possible for Jimmy Evil Hacker to find them?

If anyone accesses the pages with advanced options turned on on their Google toolbar, then the address will be sent to Google. This is the only reason I have can figure out why some pages I have are on Google.

So, the answer is yes. Ensure you have a robots.txt or even .htaccess or something.
