What, you mean we are supposed to know without you mentioning what the
filenames are?
Do you think everybody here is a mind reader?

Most probably if

MONITOR2.INF
MONITOR3.INF
:
MONITOR7.INF

they are setup scripts for differnt types of display monitors you might
have. Details on pixel dimensions, refresh rates etc.

Monitor.exe and other assorted such files on mine are from the UPS
monitor, which shuts down the machine after xx minutes of being
battery powered when the AC goes out.

I didn't know it was even possible to TeePee a computer file.

How did you manage that?
