What is an FPW file?

FPW files mostly belong to Microsoft Visual FoxPro. FPW files are used in specific software environments. In many instances they serve as a configuration file for Microsoft Visual FoxPro. These files store settings such as environment parameters and user interface details that the software loads at start-up. For more detail, see the Microsoft documentation.
Other FPW files are used as a project file in design applications like FormZ (from FormTool). They can also function as a password file for FileMaker Pro in some cases. This means that FPW files can hold project data or security details, depending on the context.
