Cal,

You might want to look at my "Is a Windows Application Running?" programming. It includes two versions (one for Win16 and one for Win32). All you need to do is pass it the known portion of the windows title bar (top-level windows only, BTW). It is not case sensitive either. You can download it by clicking the link.
