MSDN [^]:

The GetDesktopWindow function returns a handle to the desktop window.

Hello Ian,

Yes the name is a bit confusing. The desktop handle is the main WIndow on top of which all Windows are painted .

But it does not return the handle of the Window ( SysListView32 ) - which is the WIndows desktop .

This can be checked with Spy++

There is another function, GetShellWindow, which "probably" returns the Windows desktop handle, I am testing that

that list view is not the desktop window, it is a child of a child of the desktop.

you can verify that with Spy++ by looking at the ID of the Desktop window as shown in the default window list compared to the ID of that list view.

the listview is a child of the Program Manager, which is the Windows Shell.

Any idea how can I get the handle to that

I guess I need to use FindWindow or FindWinodwEx, but on what.

If you can help me with the code or at least the logic, I can try

use FindWindow to find "Program Manager", then use EnumChildWindows on its children.

or, the long way...

get the desktop window, then use EnumChildWindows to find the listview.

note that EnumChildWindows is recursive, so it will do a search of every window in the system if you start at the desktop. but, just look for a window of the SysListView32 type whose parent is the "Program Manager".

Try this:

HWND hProgMan = FindWindow("Progman", NULL);
HWND hDefView = FindWindowEx(hProgMan, NULL, "SHELLDLL_DefView", NULL);
HWND hSysListView = FindWindowEx(hDefView, NULL, "SysListView32", NULL);

"pkware" should be handled by most compression/decompression tools in the XXI century (winzip, winrar, 7zip...)

after that, on the subject of decompilation, it's a hard one, you cannot simply decompile a EXE compiled with C++ and hope to see something resembling the original source code; and the resulting "code" would be hard to understand even for an expert C++ programmer.

or, simpler :

why do you need to decompile a C++ exe file ?

You cannot decompile a compressed exe file; it is compressed in order to protect it from being reverses engineered.
