App.Config vs. AppName.exe.Config

I'm building a Windows Service app that has configuration data stored in App.Config. However, I noticed that when I build my application a AppName.Exe.Config is generated.

Can someone tell me the relationship between these two files? Is the AppName.Exe.Config file what I install with my Windows Service app, instead of the app.config?

Thanks - Randy

App.Config is the file used in your development environment. AppName.exe.config is the app.config file used when your app is deployed.
