I've already had that idea, but that's not exactly what I'm looking for. What 
if there is a running task with no parent window? I've written a program 
similar to Launch or BackMenu which only subclasses the desktop window but does 
not create a window by itself. Those programs are not found when using 
EnumWindows(), but they are running tasks and therefore detected by 
GetNumTasks(). So how do I get those task handles?
