Yes, the fastest way would be to format as FAT32. This will read on both Mac and Windows.

Formatting the USB key on either OS shouldn't make any difference - as long as it is FAT32, it is readable on both.

It should be perfectly safe to Initialise the USB key.

wow I insert and dont say nathing... works without "inicializated" say that is msdos fat32...

but what files are? I can delete?

They are windows files - probably Kingston management of some sort. They will run if you plug it in to a Windows computer, and you can see what they do.
