A web.config file is a Windows file that lets you customize the way your site or a specific directory on your site behaves. For example, if you place a web. config file in your root directory, it will affect your entire site (www.coolexample.com). ... config files are XML documents that work on Windows servers.

This file is typically found in the C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2. 0.50727\CONFIG directory. The Machine. config file contains settings for all sites running on the machine provided another.
