It is TNS_ADMIN in the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME0 level Or HOME1 etc if you have more than on home.

It can also be set as a system environment variable. Control Panel

On a Windows client installation, does anyone know what controls the location of tnsnames.ora? Is it some registry variable? We have a Windows install that can't seem to find its tnsnames.ora. Thanks.
