ASP.NET uses a hierarchical system of configuration.
At the top of the hierarchy is the Machine.config file.
This Machine.config file contains all the default configuration settings for ASP.NET.
The Machine.config file is located at:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\Machine.config
This same folder also contains a Web.config file.
The Web.config file contains settings specific to ASP.NET applications.
The Web.config file overrides particular settings in the Machine.config file.
