    How to find path of a certain window?


    How would I find the path to a settings window or tab? Not a file or folder but just a window. For example I was able to make a shortcut on the desktop to the "Sound Options" Window-Tab by using Windows\system32\mmsys.cpl.How would I find the path of similar windows or tabs? When right clicking the title bar only the options "Move" or "Close" appear. I tried dragging the window into the "run" cmd hoping it would show the path but it did not.
