What is a .CFG file?
A CFG file is a general-purpose configuration file that stores instructions or preferences a software application or system uses. Its contents depend on the program that creates it and may include options such as display settings, file locations, network parameters, or gameplay preferences. CFG files aren't tied to a single format, so they may contain readable text, structured settings, or application-specific data.
CFG files can appear in application installation folders, game directories, user profile folders, and software project directories. For example, a PC game may use a CFG file to save graphics or control settings, while a development tool may use one to define build options. File Viewer Plus can open and edit text-based CFG files.
