Basically Machine.config file content the configuration setting for a particullar machine and Web.config file is used to store configure a particular web application. On any system there will be only one Machine.config file but Web.config file can number of time as per web application

The MACHINE.config file contains default and machnine-specific values for all supported setting. Machine setting are normally controlled by the system admin, and app should never be given write access to it.An application can override most default values stored in the machine.config file by creating one or more web.config files.At min, an app creates a WEB config file in its root folder. The web.config file is a subset of machine.config written according to the same XML achema.
