I need to run an old DOS programme in my 64 bit Windows. I am searching for the config file which would help to change "Files=" command.

Please help me to find and edit this file as i need to run this program and is very important to me

You can not run your old dos program in a 64bit Windows directly. You have to use some virtualizer (for example xp mode or whatever that is called) or emulator (Dosbox).

Use the search, when an app isn't satisfied with available files it's most often a different problem. You can't set files in dosbox, it is set to 125 I think. You can try yhkwongs SVN built, you can set files with that
