Which OS are you working under? I threw a j install on a fresh ubuntu 16 machine and looked the startup files j was opening:
$ :|strace -e trace=open /usr/bin/ijconsole 2>&1 | egrep -v 'DIRECTORY|\.so\.' | egrep '^open.".*j.*"' | cut -f2 -d'"' | uniq /etc/j/8.06/profile.ijs /etc/j/8.06/profilex.ijs /home/ubuntu/.jprofile.ijs /usr/share/j/8.06/system/util/boot.ijs /usr/share/j/8.06/system/main/stdlib.ijs /usr/bin/libjqt.so /usr/share/j/8.06/system/util/scripts.ijs /usr/share/j/8.06/system/main/regex.ijs /usr/share/j/8.06/system/main/task.ijs /usr/share/j/8.06/system/util/configure.ijs /usr/share/j/8.06/system/config/base.cfg /home/ubuntu/j64-806-user/config/base.cfg /home/ubuntu/j64-806-user/config/folders.cfg /usr/share/j/8.06/system/config/folders.cfg /home/ubuntu/j64-806-user/config/recent.dat /usr/share/j/8.06/system/config/version.txt /home/ubuntu/j64-806-user/config/startup.ijs /home/ubuntu/j64-806-user/break/7015.default If I were concerned with what .cfg files were relevant, on the machine, I think I'd start my investigation with something like this.
