    That example won't help me, it gets things that aren't windows and I only need windows. Even windows with captions still gets extras

    I usually use something like this:
    vb Code:
    1. Dim hWndTmp as long
    2.  
    3. ' Get first window on the Desktop
    4. hWndTmp GetWindow(GetDesktopWindow(), GW_CHILD)
    5. Do While (hWndTmp <> 0)
    6.     ' Add w/e logic
    7.     ' Get next window
    8.     hWndTmp = GetWindow(hWndTmp, HWND_NEXT)
    9. Loop
