Every ASP.NET application that you has a web.config file . The settings specified in this will imply only to that application.Whereas Your System will have a machine.config file in Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\CONFIG Folder which contains specifications and settings at a system level.

Web.config file is to override the settings from the machine.config file. machine.config file settings are applied to all the webapplications residing on the server while web.config settings are application specific.

The MACHINE.config file contains default and machnine-specific values for all supported setting.
Machine setting are normally controlled by the system admin, and app should never be given write access to it.
An application can override most default values stored in the machine.config file by creating one or more web.config files.

At min, an app creates a WEB config file in its root folder. The web.config file is a subset of machine.config written according to the same XML achema.

Machine.Config:-

1) This is automatically installed when you install .Net Framework.
2)Only one machine.config file can exist on a server.
3) This file is at the highest level in the configuration hierarchy.
4)Its like a common repository for standard items and its over ridden by web.config file.

3)With out the Machine.Config file Application can not be executed.

Web.Config:-

1) This is automatically created when you create an ASP.Net web application project.
2)This file inherits the settings from the machine.config
3)With out the Web.Config file Application can still be executed.
