OS: XP Pro w/SP2 and a box of Kleenex on top of the computer. White Kleenex.
I just installed a Windows app from 1996. At the end of the installation, it
said it needed to add FILES=30 to config.sys. I know it would've harmed
nothing to let it do its thing, but I was curious as to whether it should
modify the CONFIG.SYS file in the root directory, or can there be individual
ones for each user profile? If so, where should those user-specific files be
placed? If the one in the root directory is modified, does that take care of
all users who might run the app?
Meanwhile, I've started the 6 apps I live in all day, and this newly
installed one, and I've seen no issues, so I wonder if the FILES= line is
really needed with XP.
