To see filenames of all scripts that vim loaded, including those loaded implicitly at startup:

:scriptnames

This does not show names of 'would-be scripts' -- that is, scripts that vim tried to open, did not find and was silent about it.

To see the 'would-be' scripts -- that is, scripts that vim tried to open, did not find and was silent about it -- add '-V' option when starting vim:

vim -V

Also:

vim --version # shows system-dependent location of rc-files 
              # but does not show location of system/personal 
              # plugins

:help startup
