Each application has its own private address space, so including 
another app's windows in your app's window list doesn't make sense. 
The only way to find out about other app's windows is to have the 
user enable accessibility in System Preferences. This has already 
been discussed in detail here and on other lists. You might try doing 
a search to see what's already been said.
