For every DOS program, you can specify individual CONFIG.SYS and 
AUTOEXEC.BAT settings.  However, if you do, Win95 essentially
reboots with the new config files, then runs the program--after
the program is done, the system reboots again and reloads Win95.
Fortunately, I've seen very few programs that need their own
configuration files--for me, everything except Transport Tycoon
runs with whatever Win95 gives it (thus, no reboot).

Your mileage may vary.  :)
