Where does SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'OS_USER') get its value from?

Hello all,

I'm working on a client-server application that uses ODBC to connect to an Oracle 11 database. I use a dedicated account to connect to Oracle, and I get the users Windows login name using the call shown in the title.

My question is: where does Oracle get the value of the users Windows login name? Is it coming from a windows registry key? Environment variable?

Thanks
