       On Windows, the following files are consulted:

       · <repo>/.hg/hgrc (per-repository)
       · %USERPROFILE%\.hgrc (per-user)
       · %USERPROFILE%\Mercurial.ini (per-user)
       · %HOME%\.hgrc (per-user)
       · %HOME%\Mercurial.ini (per-user)
       · HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Mercurial (per-installation)
       · <install-dir>\hgrc.d\*.rc (per-installation)
       · <install-dir>\Mercurial.ini (per-installation)
       · <internal>/default.d/*.rc (defaults)

       Note   The registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mercurial is used when running
32-bit Python on 64-bit Windows.

       On Windows 9x, %HOME% is replaced by %APPDATA%.


Best regadrs,
