Is there a way to "name" windows in Windows?

Here's what I want to try: a way to give my own names to windows so I can control some dumb things :) like when some apps name their window with constantly changing strings, such as when an app's window name is the name of the application AND the current version number. Thus, in a piece of code I have that waits for a window based on its name, when the application is updated, the code must always be updated to reflect the stupid new name change of the window.

 

 

So, is there a way to run an application through its shortcut, or any way, and tell it what to name the window that will run it. For example, let's take ImgBurn. After clicking the ImgBurn.lnk that launches ImgBurn.exe, it runs in a window named ImgBurn. (This is HOW it should be, no funny version numbered names, etc. Good job! :thumbup: ) Is there a way I can control this process so that when I run the shortcut, the name of the window isn't ImgBurn but, say, Donate Thousands Of Pounds To LUK :D
