As simple user, I hope you do not proliferate the number of initialization 
files.

If someone remember, I already flagged that the silently modification of 
init.el is not good but adding another file is even worse; in that discussion 
there was the suggestion to add this to init.el:

  (setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
  (load custom-file)

and now everything is under control..

BTW, Emacs works also without the information saved in the init.el or custom.el 
files...

Ciao,
