>>>I am trying to have a launcher find a running vfp.exe (call it target.exe) and switch to it, if it has the right startup folder. If not, I want to launch that one. I can find examples to get the target exe by window title. That won't work as the app changes the title frequently.

Yes. To allow new version to be deployed. Launcher obtains newest version.
