FindWindow

FindWindow is a software program that can help you identify a window when you have numerous applications opened. It can be accessed from the systray and can detect windows by names or classes. The tool puts a bunch of useful options at your disposal, such as moving the windows to the center of the screen to draw your attention.

It's not necessary to go through an installation procedure because FindWindow is portable. You can save the executable file anywhere on the computer or place it on a USB flash drive to seamlessly run it on any PC and find opened windows.

Double-clicking the file brings up a graphical window with the usage. You have to first open a Command Prompt window and then go to the program's location to call its process by entering the file name and extension. This automatically creates an .ini file in the same directory as the tool, a file which includes window information.

The syntax is FindWindow.exe [Name] [/c:Class] [/f] [/n] [/q] [/s] [/? | /h]. You can indicate either the window's title or class name, depending on which information you have at hand, and ask the app to flash the window but not change the active state (/f).

Moreover, the app can be instructed to move the window to center of the screen (/m), stop writing results in the findwindow.ini file (/n), switch the window focus and bring it to the foreground (/s) and run in quiet mode without showing results (/q).

We haven't come across any issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that FindWindow ran errorfree, even on Windows 10. It had minimal impact on the computer's performance in our tests. The tool should be useful for those interested in quickly locating opened windows by title or class. However, it's not designed for casual PC users.
