Hi,
As I think I said (maybe I didn't; I may have just figured it was obvious,
because I gave examples of the extensions, but, oh well) , I knew they were
script files, but I couldn't figure out whether I should look for them in
that folder or just assume they were total accidents resulting from some
mistake I made while unzipping a file.
So, okay, I'll go look there, and I'll hope that if the filenames match,
then the ones on the Desktop won't be needed for anything in future.
thanks.

Hi!
Look in your settings\enu folder. They're script files, and somehow probably
managed to get copied to your desktop. If you find duplicates of these in
your enu folder, I would assume it's ok to delete the ones on the desktop.
