I remember once seeing a package that let you easily access Windows features from Forms, but I don't think it was a built-in. It may have been distributed with a book. Other than that, the simplest way is to use the ORA_FFI package to call the Win32 API function GetProfileString to read the devices key of the [windows] section in the WIN.INI file.
