It is possible assuming that your exe is running and it does have a window.

One of the ways to do it that I know of is based on enumerating all Top
level windows and comparing the executable name with your given executable
name. You would use functions :

EnumWindows, EnumWindowsProc or EnumChildWindows, EnumChildProc to enumerate
windows
Then for each window call
GetWindowModuleFileName(pWnd->GetSafeHwnd(), szPath, MAX_PATH);

Let me know if this helps at all
