Those are just shortcuts, pointing to programs installed.
If there were a file extension visible, it would be .lnk, but those will not show a file extension.
More data, http://filext.com/file-extension/LNK.

<<Will the extensions show if you have your system configured to show all file extensions, hidden files/folders, system files, etc.?>>
No, I don't think so. I always have file extensions enabled for viewing and the only time I recall seeing the extensions is in the registry.
If you do a search for all shortcuts (*.lnk), it will reflect them as I've stated above, with no file extension...but in the details column for file type they will be described as shortcuts.

I delete desktop.ini files routinely, a new one will be generated. I have never bothered to try to read any of those files.
