Window class names

How do I determine what an application's window class name is.  This is for use with the FindWindow() function.

HWND FindWindow(
    LPCTSTR  lpClassName,      // address of class name
    LPCTSTR  lpWindowName       // address of window name
   );

An example I have shows how to look for WinWord running with the window classname = "OpusApp".  However, I need to look for more than just Word running.  I tried checking the Win95 registry for "OpusApp" to see if this info was stored there, but no luck.

Can someone point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Jody

Spy++ did the trick.  Thanks.

BTW, I needed to know the class name because some apps, such as Word, put the name of the current document in the main window title so I can't always be sure of the title name.
