Hi,

the app doesn't see Explorer windows and doesn't display them in the list.

Has anyone already found a solution for problem with Explorer. I don't see a way to include Explorer window in profile?

This is basically the same as this issue so I'm closing as a duplicate: https://github.com/Todd1561/TANWindowMgr/issues/2

TANWindowMgr identifies applications by their process name (e.g. notepad.exe). The problem with Windows Explorer windows is they are just part of the main "explorer.exe" program that is the entire underlying UI for Windows so they can't be identified properly. A different method for identifying windows would need to be developed, maybe one day...
