CONFIG.SYS

A DOS and OS/2 configuration file. It resided in the root directory and was used to load drivers and change settings at startup. Install programs often modified CONFIG.SYS in order to customize the computer for their particular use. Windows 95/98 executed the lines in CONFIG.SYS if it contained drivers that it found no counterpart for when it was installed. See DOS CONFIG.SYS.

(operating system)

CONFIG.SYS - A text file containing special system configuration commands. It is found in the root directory on an MS-DOS computer, typically on drive C (the hard disk).

FCBS=16,0

Set the number of file control blocks.

DEVICEHIGH /L:1,12048 =C:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
