Configuration files

The configuration files are searched first in %IDADIR%\cfg, then in %IDAUSR%\cfg.

See documentation about the IDAUSR environment variable.

In the configuration files, you can use C,C++ style comments and include files. If no file is found, IDA uses default values. IDA uses the following configuration files:

  • IDA.CFG - general config file
  • IDAGUI.CFG - graphics mode interface config file
  • IDAPYTHON.CFG - configuration file for IDAPython

{% hint style=“info” %} The IDA text UI and its configuration file (IDATUI.CFG) were removed starting with IDA 9.2. {% endhint %}
