You don't need to follow the parent chain, you can do
WinWindowFromPoint(HWND_DESKTOP, &ptl, FALSE). The FALSE means don't look
at children windows so the window returned will be a child of HWND_DESKTOP.
If you do decide to trace backwards for some reason be careful not to
compare anything to HWND_DESKTOP. HWND_DESKTOP is a constant (0 or 1)
whereas a window function will return the handle of the desktop window
(0x201383 or something similar on mine).
