    I followed your suggestion but wasn't able to find Notepad listed on the startup. There are some listed as program but don't know which ones it could be.

    Malicious hash on a notepad

    Files hash info

    I suggest you verify whether the files really are identical. Generate different hashes- as f14tomcat suggests below..

    What convinces you the hash value computed is embedded in the file?
