It might help you if you unhide the file extensions for known files.
Windows Explorer | Folder Options | View and uncheck the box "hide
extensions for known file types". I'm intrigued as to your having
"wininit (text file)" as I can't see any reason for having a file
named wininit.txt. Personally I feel you should delete all the files you
list except for wininit.exe and then reboot. Now check again and see what
wininit files are present.
