Microsoft Windows
The Microsoft Windows family of operating systems and their attendant applications utilize a similar system of configuration files. Windows 3.0 had an API for INI files (from "initialization"). Many Windows programs abandoned configuration files to use the Windows Registry to store information.

Famous quotes containing the word windows:
“In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts, whose windows and doors are half concealed, but from whose chimneys the smoke cheerfully ascends.... We enjoy now, not an Oriental, but a Boreal leisure, around warm stoves and fireplaces, and watch the shadow of motes in the sunbeams.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
