.win file extension

.win

1. Microsoft Visual FoxPro save file. .win is the default file extension that Microsoft Visual FoxPro uses when saving window definitions. The .win file contains window definitions together with the status of each window.

Whilst .win is the default file file extension that FoxPro uses when saving window definitions, it is not mandatory and FoxPro developers are free to use a different file extension if they so wish.
