Hi All,
I would like to know when to use web.config and when to use machine.config?
I need the answer at the earliest.

"web.config" is scoped to a particular directory. You use it to override machine.config for a particular application or application sub-folder. Sorry for not answering sooner; there is an ASP.NET sub-forum that you might want to use for these types of questions in the future.
