Managing Browser Settings Through IEAK 8 Profile Manager (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc985349.aspx)

Automatic configuration .ins file
The default name of this file is Install.ins 

IEAK Profile Manager stamps each .ins file with a version number. The version number combines the date that the .ins file was modified and the number of times the file has been revised. For example, 2007.02.14.01 shows that the file was modified only once and that modification occurred on February 14, 2007. 

IEAK Profile Manager
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc961382.aspx)

Files Generated by the IEAK Profile Manager

When you update and save your configuration settings, the IEAK Profile Manager generates the following files:

Auto-configuration .ins file - This file contains the browser and component settings that Internet Explorer uses to update the browser configuration on users' computers. You can specify these settings in the Wizard Settings section of the IEAK Profile Manager.

Cabinet (.cab) files - These files are used to organize the installation files that are downloaded to the users' computers. You should digitally sign the .cab files created by the IEAK Profile Manager. For more information about signing your .cab files, see Chapter 12 , "Preparing for the IEAK."
The auto-configuration .cab files also contain information (.inf) files.

Information (.inf) files - These files contain the system policies and restrictions that the operating system uses to update the system configuration on users' computers. You can specify these settings in the Policies and Restrictions section of the IEAK Profile Manager.
Each .inf file also contains version information. When you change configuration settings, the IEAK Profile Manager updates the affected .inf files and their version information and repackages the companion .cab files.

Internet Explorer downloads and processes the contents of the auto-configuration .ins file and makes the necessary configuration changes on the users' computers. Internet Explorer also downloads and unpacks the companion .cab files for the operating system to process. If the version number of the auto-configuration .ins file does not change, new .cab files are not downloaded. The version number consists of the date the .ins file was modified and the number of times the file has been revised.
