Have you googled about them? You can easily find it out searching the web. Another way is to open up any of the file you want to know about and read it.

The Linux Documentation Project has a good introduction to the shell initialization files.

Thumbs up
All these are called system startup scripts:


/etc/profile This script file is run first for all users during the login process
$HOME/.bash_profile This script file is run for individual user's customized setup
$HOME/.bash_login If the .bash_profile above does not exist, this file is run
$HOME/.profile This script file is run if $HOME/.bash_profile and .bash_login don't exist
