Is it possible to get the the "handle to a window" that is running in
another session in Windows XP? I need to "SendMessage" a WM_COPYDATA
message to a process running in Session 0 from the session for the
current logged in user. Previously, I would use "FindWindow" in Window
2000 and below to send the message, but now under XP that scheme no
longer works since XP has added Fast User Switching with Multiple
Desktop Sessions and  it appears that each session maintains a seperate
WIndows List. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
