There must be a file named with your last used GnuCash file, normally
with .gnucash as extension. But if this file is generated long time ago
there is no extension. This file contains all your financial data. I
think it is the first one on your list.
The text file on your list I can't say anything and GCM file I guess
there are some settings of environment of gnucash itself.

You can check if you start GnuCash and than use "file -> open" and try
to open your file.

sorry, I don't use XP.
