Windows Configuration Files Tricks : CONFIG.SYS (Windows 3.1/DOS)
Controls the Number of Simultaneous Files:
This setting specifies the number of files that the operating system can access at one time.
Open the CONFIG.SYS file found in the root directory of your C: drive using Notepad or another text editor (not Microsoft Word or any word processor).
Add a new line with the text "files=xx" where 'xx' is the maximum number of files to have open simultaneously (for example files=60). Alternatively use "fileshigh=xx" command to cause the reserved memory to be taken out of the upper memory area instead.
These changes will take place on the next reboot.
