Configuration settings can be applied to a specific Web application or directory by using a location tag with an appropriate path attribute. The path attribute can be used to identify a specific file or child directory to which unique configuration settings apply. Using the Locations tab of the ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog box is a way to embed configuration settings inside a configuration file.
