In computing, a "wimp" is often used as an acronym for "Windows, Icons, Menus, Pointer." This term refers to the graphical user interface (GUI) elements commonly found in modern operating systems, including windows for displaying information, icons for representing files or applications, menus for accessing various functions, and a pointer (such as a mouse cursor) for interacting with the interface. The term is typically used to contrast GUI-based interfaces with older, text-based interfaces.
