Strange warning when using mysql CLI client in Windows.

I am running MySQL Community Server 5.7.17 on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. When I try to use the mysql command line tool, I get the following warning:

Warning: World-writable config file '/etc/my.cnf' is ignored

Now on a Unix machine, I would just find that file and do chmod 644 on it to clear the warning. However, since this is a Windows machine that I am using, I have no idea where to look for this file. I do know that the main server config file is in C:\Program Data\MySQL\....

So, the question is what exactly is mysql looking at to generate this warning?
