If it is non-MFC, you basically have no hope of doing it reliably. Many apps make the
fundamental mistake of encoding the string as a literal in the source code instead of
using resources, and if it isn't MFC, you have no idea which resource actually has the
string anyway.
You can't get a handle to a .exe file; you can only get a handle to a process or a loaded
HMODULE.
If the executable is actually running, you can use the technique I gave of enumerating the
processes and finding the caption using GetWindowText.
