Grab a copy of AutoIt from  http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml

Run  Au3Info.exe and look at the actual Title of various windows.

Note that the Title is not always what is displayed on the "grab bar" . As an example, an 
Explorer window doesn't display anything - but its Title is the path shown in the "Address 
Bar".
