Ned, the friendly configuration manager is a debug feature of LabVIEW in form of a window with list of options. The private, internal set of settings available on that list allow changing various aspects of LabVIEW inner mechanisms.

These settings are not saved across LabVIEW sessions, but many of the options are also valid LabVIEW configuration file keys.
