Then you cannot use FindWindow(), unless the window has a unique class name,
in which case FindWindow() can search for that instead of the caption text.

Otherwise, you will have to enuerate the windows manually, looking at the
caption of each one and doing your own comparison yourself.  Use
FindWindow(NULL, NULL) to get the first window on the desktop, then
GetNextWindow(GW_HWNDNEXT) in a loop to get each window after that.  Or use
EnumWindows().  Either way, you can then use the WM_GETTEXT message to
retreive the caption of each window, then search the text for whatever you
are looking for.
