A
file that contains
configuration information for a particular
program. When the program is
executed, it consults the configuration file to see what
parameters are in effect. The configuration file for
DOS is called
CONFIG.SYS. Older versions of the
Windows operating system stores configuration information in files with a.
INI extension. The two most important configuration files are
WIN.INI and
SYS.INI. Starting with
Windows 95, most configuration information is stored in
MIF files and in the
Registry.
