# Extension folder `Configuration` {#extension-configuration-files}

The folder `EXT:my_extension/Configuration/` contains
configuration of different types.

Most subdirectories have reserved names.

Files in the root of this directory and in the `TCA` and
`Backend` subdirectories are automatically included during TYPO3 bootstrap.

The typical file structure is:
