Answer 1

you have now two different pfiles: one in c:\temp\initstdby4.ora. and %ORACLE_HOME%\database\initstdby4.ora.
You are using the latter, as you didn't specify pfile= in your startup mount.
Also, if you are using a spfile, the only line in a pfile should be: spfile=....
In your pfile you are mixing up Unix like file locations with \ and Windows file locations with /
Could you please read the docs
more closely

and work

It is very simple, but you must work carefully.
