The maximum number of open files at once is determined by a number in the
boot blocks. To edit this, you need somthing like FEdit, which has a
command for editing boot blocks. When you run under MultiFinder, this
number is multiplied by some factor (I think 4).
The number of open windows is controlled by each application. If you mean
the number of open Finder windows, that value is stored in the LAYO resource
in the Finder itself. If you have recent version of ResEdit, then when you
open the LAYO resource you should see a dialog box that decodes the format
of the resource and makes it easy to change it.
