Hello,
Where can I declare the paramaters for config.sys on dos files, running on
windows-xp ?

(Where is the config.sys in windows-xp, or what can I do instead ?)

Thanks

%windir%\system32\config.sys

Windows XP uses Config.nt and Autoexec.nt, not Config.sys or Autoexec.bat.

If you have a Config.sys or Autoexec.bat file XP will (mostly) ignore them.
Nothing in Config.sys will have any effect. Any line in Autoexec.bat that
launches a program or changes a directory will be ignored; the only lines in
Autoexec.bat that Windows XP will read are the lines that begin SET or PATH.
If ParseAutoexec is set to 1.
